February 15, 2026

MATTY SHIELS put a day to forget at Ibrox in the rear-view mirror as he netted at the right end to get Queen's Park off bottom spot.

Shiels got the last touch trying to keep out one of Rangers' eight goals in a Scottish Cup drubbing.

But the journey back down from Dingwall was a sweeter one as Queen's leapfrogged County and Airdrie, having played fewer games than both relegation rivals.

The Staggies now prop up the table and gaffer Stuart Kettlewell said: "Disappointing is an understatement - it was verging on embarrassing, our level of performance.
