What to look out for on Scottish Cup quarter-final weekend
Queen’s Park is the story of the last round, beating Ibrox and contributing to the final demise of Ibrox manager Philippe Clement.
Not only is this a historical result – the first side outside the top level is to defeat the Rangers in the cup with their own patches, but it also ensures there is no surprise element this time.
The Spider visited Pittodrie once before the season, when Toplight Aberdeen had to wait until Toppage Time until Topi Keskinen’s lonely goal reached the quarterfinals of the League Cup in August.
Including Ibrox, Callum Davidson’s team was unbeaten on the road with no defeats on the road, but nothing was admitted, but it needed to recover from Tuesday’s 3-2 home win over Ayr United, which put them in the sixth place in the championship game.
Jimmy Thelin’s owner fell to fourth place on the highest flight after a 5-1 defeat at Celtic Park and a 2-2 defeat on Sunday.
However, the recent inconsistency of Dons is at least an improvement in their previous frustrating game of 15 wins, and now they have lost only once in five outings and remain unbeaten in their latest three games.
It all had another major shock to the scores of Queen’s Park in front of live TV viewers in front of BBC One Scotland and BBC Iplayer. Again, the humiliation of Daville on the sixth level of 2023 is still Aberdeen’s memory.
