00:00The pressure is piling back on Rangers manager Philip Clement after his side were knocked
00:06out of the Scottish Cup this afternoon at Ibrox by Championship Queen's Park. A stunning
00:12result for Calum Davison's Spiders side who struck in the second half through substitute
00:17Seb Drozd firing low pass Liam Kelly to stun Ibrox and condemn Rangers to their first ever
00:27defeat at home in the Scottish Cup to lower league opposition. There was also a last minute
00:33penalty save from Calum Ferry, a hero for the Spiders on the day, made a number of fantastic
00:39saves, none better than stopping James Tavernier's penalty kick in the 95th minute to ensure
00:45that Queen's Park held on for a stunning victory here. That really does pile the pressure back
00:51onto Clement. The Belgian was backed by the Rangers board only a month ago after a period
00:58of poor results in the league which have left his team 13 points behind Celtic in the table.
01:04Those calls for him to go will only grow louder after this result. Like we say, one of the
01:10worst ever Scottish Cup defeat in Rangers history and where Clement and Rangers go from
01:15here remains to be seen. Rangers obviously have a Europa League last 16 tie to come next
01:23month but whether Clement remains in charge for that we shall now have to wait and see.
01:28There was certainly loud protests at full time after this result, both inside the ground
01:34and outside, a small gathering of fans making it known that they want to see a change here
01:39at Ibrox after this 1-0 defeat to Queen's Park. All the plaudits go to Calum Davison's
01:45side, they were superb on the day, ran themselves into the ground, players dropping with cramp
01:50towards the end but it is they who will be in Monday's draw for the quarter-final and
01:55they can dream about perhaps going all the way now to the semi-final and final.
