Queen’s Park Pulls Off Stunning Scottish Cup Upset Against Rangers

In a shocking turn of events, Championship side Queen’s Park eliminated Rangers from the Scottish Cup with a 1-0 victory at Ibrox Stadium. Substitute Seb Drozd scored the decisive goal in the 69th minute, sending the visitors through to the next round.

Rangers dominated possession but struggled to convert chances throughout the match. Queen’s Park goalkeeper Calum Ferrie made several key saves to keep his side in contention. The home team’s frustration grew as the game wore on.

The breakthrough came when Drozd, who had only been on the pitch for three minutes, capitalized on a corner kick. He skillfully maneuvered past defender Jefte before firing a shot through goalkeeper Liam Kelly’s legs.

Rangers pushed desperately for an equalizer in the closing stages. They were awarded a penalty in stoppage time when Cyriel Dessers was fouled, but captain James Tavernier’s spot-kick was saved by Ferrie.

The result marks one of the biggest upsets in recent Scottish Cup history. It leaves Rangers’ hopes for domestic silverware this season in tatters, as they trail Celtic by a significant margin in the league. Manager Philippe Clement will face increased scrutiny following this disappointing exit.

For Queen’s Park, managed by Callum Davidson, the victory continues their impressive cup run and sets up an exciting quarter-final tie. The Championship side showed remarkable resilience to withstand Rangers’ pressure and capitalize on their opportunity.

The shock defeat will prompt soul-searching at Rangers, while Queen’s Park can celebrate a famous triumph as they continue their Scottish Cup adventure.
