QUEENS TAKE A SHOCK CUP EXIT AT COATBRIDGE AND THE PROSPECT OF A MONEY SPINNING TIE WITH CELTIC AT PALMY GOES UP IN SMOKE
Coatbridge supersub Calum Ferguson grabbed a dramatic winner in the fourth minute of injury time to set up a dream fourth-round clash with Premiership leaders Celtic.
League One Rovers now stand to make well over £100,000 if television bosses select the January clash for live coverage.
Mick Dunlop’s early opener for Rovers was cancelled out by Jamie Hamill before Ryan Wallace was sent-off with three minutes left.
But the Cliftonhill outfit kept pushing with Ferguson setting up a mouthwatering date with Brendan Rodgers’s Hoops in January.
Player/manager Young was full of praise for his squad after they delivered the finest result of his managerial career by sending Championship side Queens out.
And he beamed: “It’s just so emotional. When the goal went in, before I knew it I was in the middle of the park.
“Thirty seconds before the winning goal we were shouting at the linesman asking for time up and then we end up on the counter attack. It’s great for young Calum to come on and score a winning goal in a game like that with so much at stake.
“We limited them in terms of clearcut chances and fortunately we took the chances when they fell to us.
