When somebody asks you why people like the charms of national cups more than any other competition, just show them what happened in the English FA Cup and Scottish Cup. Approximately half an hour after Liverpool were stunned by the Championship relegation-strugglers Plymouth Argyle (1-0) in the FA Cup, the same thing happened to the 55-time champions of Scotland, Rangers, which were eliminated from the national cup in the Round of 16, by the second-tier side, Queen’s Park, at home!”Queen’s Park lead at Ibrox!” 🎙️Absolute bedlam among the @queensparkfc fans as Seb Drozd puts them 1-0 up against Rangers with a brilliant goal 😱#ScottishCup | @ScottishCup pic.twitter.com/c0GYZiVeLy— Premier Sports (@PremSportsTV) February 9, 2025 What a save this is 🙌Tavenier disappointed 🤣🤣#NoHunsAtHampden pic.twitter.com/5F7Lya4R93— Michael Celtic (@MichaelCeltic18) February 9, 2025 To make the Gers’ embarrassment worse, Queen’s Park haven’t played in the top tier of Scottish football since the season 1957/1958, spending most of the time in the third flight, with occasional promotions to the second and relegations to the fourth tier.Additionally, Queen’s Park have never been champions of Scotland, though they have won ten national cups, which puts them in third place regarding the number of cup trophies, just behind the unmatched Glasgow rivals, Celtic and Rangers.##EDITORS_CHOICE##However, the popular Spiders’ trophy times are long gone, given that they won their last piece of silverware back in the 19th century (?!), more precisely, in 1893. Since then, they lost a 1900 cup final, which was the closest they had come to a trophy.Yesterday, Queen’s Park reminded everyone of the old days, knocking Rangers out of the cup thanks to Seb Drozd’s 69th-minute winner, though the Gers had an ideal chance to secure extra time, but their captain James Tavernier missed a penalty in the 97th minute.##NAJAVA_MECA_8692420##
