Rangers Take Revenge on Queen's Park with Thrashing 8-0 Win
In a dramatic display of attacking prowess, Rangers took revenge on their Scottish Cup opponents Queen's Park by thrashing them 8-0. The win was a fitting avengement for the Ibrox side after being humbled 1-0 in the same tie last season.
The difference in fortunes between the two teams was stark, with Rangers showing no signs of the weaknesses that plagued them earlier in the campaign. Captain James Tavernier scored an impressive hat-trick to seal the win, adding a second goal just before halftime and completing his treble from the penalty spot. Matthew Shiels also added a second own goal for Queen's Park to further embarrass their opponents.
The Rangers attack was relentless, with Ryan Naderi scoring not one but two goals in the first half. Bojan Miovski added another header in the 80th minute, and Tochi Chukwuani sealed the win late on as Rangers cruised into the quarter-finals.
In contrast, Queen's Park struggled to cope with the pace and potency of their opponents. The visitors only managed to get through to this stage after Stranraer were expelled for fielding an ineligible player in the previous round.
The Scottish Cup continues to be a platform for teams to make their mark on the competition. Celtic edged past Dundee 2-1 in extra time, while Partick Thistle and Dunfermline also navigated their respective ties against Elgin and Kelty Hearts.
However, other matches were not so fortunate. The tie between Dundee United and Spartans was called off due to a waterlogged pitch, as was the scheduled game between Aberdeen and Motherwell. Additionally, St Mirren needed extra time to beat Airdrieonians in their own stadium, booking their place in the quarter-finals.
The quarter-final draw is set to take place after Stenhousemuir host Falkirk on Sunday evening, providing a much-needed boost to Scottish football as teams look to make a deep run in the competition.

rangers were so dominant they didnt even let queen park get any decent chance on goal 
captain james tavernier is a genius on the pitch hat-trick and all that, but honestly i think its crazy how much of a difference one season makes 
like they werent even the same team last year? anyway, glad to see rangers moving forward and making some noise in scottish cup 
I'm not gonna lie, that 8-0 thrashing by Rangers is a bit of a scary sign for Queen's Park... but at the same time, you can't blame them for getting dominated like that. They did get through to this stage after some controversy with Stranraer, so maybe they're due for a decent run in the competition? 
The fact that other teams had their games called off or went into extra time is pretty frustrating, though... it's hard to take these cups seriously when you've got weather and pitch issues holding you back. Still, on to the quarter-finals – gotta be excited about the potential matches we'll see! 
. Celtic and Partick Thistle are doing alright in the competition, but I'm keeping an eye on Dundee United vs Spartans - that one had to get called off because of a dodgy pitch? 
️
oh man, Queen's Park got thrashed 8-0? that's like getting roasted in front of your whole family 
. Rangers just dominated the match from start to finish, it was like they had a score to settle. James Tavernier's hat-trick was pure magic 
. I'm not surprised that Queen's Park struggled to cope with the pace and potency of their opponents, I mean who wouldn't when faced with a team as ruthless as Rangers? 
on the other hand, Celtic is looking good, 2-1 over Dundee in extra time? that's some serious football 
the Scottish Cup is supposed to be a competition where anyone can come out on top, not just the big boys 
. James Tavernier's hat-trick was a testament to this newfound confidence, showcasing his growth as a player 
.
I'm loving this, Rangers totally destroyed Queen's Park 8-0! 
, what was going through those players' minds at halftime? 
and left the rest of the teams in the dust 
. I mean, James Tavernier's hat-trick was insane 
! And for Queen's Park to concede 8 goals is just heartbreaking 
... well done Rangers on your revenge mission!
