Queen’s Park Stuns Rangers in Historic Scottish Cup Upset
Wow, what a shocking night at Ibrox! Rangers, one of the biggest clubs in Scottish football, have been dumped out of the Scottish Cup by second-tier Queen’s Park in what can only be described as one of the most stunning upsets in recent history.
This wasn’t just any defeat—it was a moment of history. For the first time in 153 years, Rangers have lost a home tie in the Scottish Cup to a team from a lower division. Let that sink in. A club with Rangers’ legacy, their dominance, their history—completely undone by a side that last knocked them out of this competition in 1882. And to make things even more dramatic, it all came down to a last-minute penalty save that sealed Queen’s Park’s place in the quarter-finals for the first time since 1983.

The hero of the night? Queen’s Park goalkeeper Calum Ferrie . When Rangers captain James Tavernier stepped up in stoppage time for a penalty that could have forced extra time, the entire stadium held its breath. But Ferrie had other plans. Diving to his left, he pulled off a stunning save, sending the Queen’s Park fans into absolute delirium.
And let's not forget Seb Drozd , the man who wrote his name into Scottish Cup folklore with the winning goal. Coming off the bench, he took full advantage of some poor defending from Rangers, coolly slotting the ball past Liam Kelly in the 69th minute. That was all it took—one moment of brilliance, one goal, and suddenly, Rangers found themselves staring at a disaster.
For Philippe Clement, this is a nightmare. The Rangers boss was already under pressure with his side trailing Celtic in the league by 13 points. Now, with their Scottish Cup hopes shattered, the only thing left for Rangers this season is the Europa League. But let’s be real—after a performance like this, confidence in Clement’s ability to turn things around is at an all-time low. The Rangers board might have backed him publicly, but after this embarrassment, will they still be so patient?
For Queen’s Park, this is a fairytale moment. They came into Ibrox with barely any expectations, missing key players, and with their manager Callum Davidson watching from the stands due to a suspension. Yet, against all odds, they pulled off one of the greatest shocks in Scottish football history.
This is why we love football. The drama, the unpredictability, the underdog triumphing against the giant. Queen’s Park fans will never forget this night, and for Rangers—well, they might want to.
