    Rangers will host Stranraer in the Scottish Cup last-16 after the League 2 part-timers beat Queen's Park in a penalty shoot-out after extra time.

    It means there will be no repeat of last season, when the Championship side won 1-0 in a Glasgow derby at Ibrox to advance to the quarter-finals days before Rangers sacked Philippe Clement as manager.

    Midfielder Aidan Connolly fired Queen's Park ahead after only 11 minutes at Stair Park, where a lights failure caused a stoppage in play.

    However, on-loan Hearts midfielder Dom Plank smashed in the equaliser on the hour mark and neither side could add to the scoring to prevent penalties.

    It ended a five-game run without a victory for Chris Aitken's Stranraer, who sit fourth in the fourth tier.

    Stranraer will visit the Scottish Premiership club for the first time since they met in the fourth round in 2020, with the hosts prevailing thanks to goals from Scott Arfield and Jermain Defoe.

    Rangers have yet to lose to Stranraer in eight meetings, winning seven of them, the one draw coming at Ibrox when the sides were in League 1 in December 2013.
