Liverpool player Andy Robertson reacts to ‘massive’ Rangers blow
Rangers hit a new low under Philippe Clement thanks to defeat against Queen’s Park on Sunday.
The Gers were dumped out of the Scottish Cup as a result of a 1-0 loss against Championship opposition on 9 February.
There were few positives to take from the performance and even they were forgotten when James Tavernier, who spoke out after the game, saw his late penalty saved.
It is fair to say that this result has caused a stir in Scottish football, with a national team regular reacting via social media.
Andy Robertson reacts to Rangers defeat v Queens Park
Giant killings in cup competitions always catch the eye of neutrals and as a result, the defeat at Ibrox will be discussed for many years to come.
This particular scoreline was picked up on by Premier League and Champions League winner Robertson, who started his career with Queen’s Park back in 2012.
As a result, it is no surprise to see him reach out to everyone at Hampden Park to share his congratulations after a hugely positive result.
Writing to the Spiders via Instagram (10 January), the Liverpool star said: “Fair play to everyone. Massive day for the club.”
This was accompanied by two clapping hand emojis, which sums up exactly how he was feeling after his first club beat the Old Firm rivals of the side that he supports in Celtic.
Rangers become laughing stock after defeat v Queens Park
The Light Blues have had such a poor campaign in the Scottish Premiership, which has seen Clement come under heavy scrutiny.
There is arguments to say that is deserved, especially now that there is almost no guarantee of securing a single piece of silverware this season.
After losing the League Cup final to Celtic and now being dumped from the Scottish Cup by Queen’s Park, there is little to play for for the rest of the season – domestically, at least.
Although the Gers are still in the Europa League, it feels very unlikely that progression to the final and a triumph in that competition is going to be likely.
Regardless of all that, a defeat against a side 15 places below the Govan club, in an entirely different division, just isn’t good enough.
It is a historic moment at Ibrox – a historically bad moment which reflects badly on Clement and his players.
