RANGERS today crashed out of the William Hill Scottish Cup as they slumped to an embarrassing 2-1 defeat at home to Raith Rovers.
Kenny McDowall's side were booed off by the majority of an 11,422 crowd at the end of a woeful display as the Rovers fans celebrated a famous win.
It was another shocking performance from a side that have had their fair share in recent years, but it was a day to remember for Grant Murray and his players as they booked a place in tomorrow's quarter-final draw.
The defeat piles more pressure on caretaker boss McDowall and his players, who only have a shot at promotion from the Championship to play for now this term.
The Light Blues boss handed starts to two of the Newcastle United players that joined the club on deadline day, after revealing he had been ordered to play them by chief executive Derek Llambias and football board chairman Sandy Easdale.
Remie Streete replaced Darren McGregor at the heart of the Gers rearguard, while Haris Vuckic came in to the midfield.
Rangers had a couple of decent chances in the first half, but it was Raith who came closest to scoring, Paul Watson's header hitting the post and rebounding into Steve Simonsen's gloves.
Just before the break, Streete's debut came to a premature end as he hobbled off with a groin strain and was replaced by McGregor.
With 53 minutes on the clock, Raith stunned Ibrox as Ryan Conroy curled a terrific free-kick beyond Simonsen from 20 yards.
As discontent grew around Ibrox, new boy Vuckic marked his debut with a low strike to bring the Light Blues level.
It wouldn't last long, however. Just seconds after the substitution of Ian Black got a round of applause from the Ibrox crowd, Raith scored their second as Christian Nade bundled the ball home after some shocking defending from Simonsen and Richard Foster.
When Kris Boyd headed wide from just yards out in the final minute, Rangers' last chance was gone.
