Rangers exit the Scottish Cup: Clement's side beaten by second tier outfit

Rangers have been knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Championship side Queen's Park.

Anger erupted at full-time as Rangers’ fate was sealed following Seb Drozd’s 69th-minute goal.

Queen’s Park, currently fifth in Scotland’s second tier, relied on some luck and impressive goalkeeping.

Despite late penalty drama, they held on to secure their first Scottish Cup victory over Rangers since 1882.

The Queen’s Park players were on edge when referee Calum Scott pointed to the penalty spot during second-half stoppage time.

But Calum Ferrie, who was outstanding throughout the fifth-round tie at Ibrox, made a heroic save to deny Rangers captain James Tavernier, sealing a stunning upset.
