Annan Athletic land Rangers Scottish Cup tie after dramatic win over Clydebank

Annan Athletic will face Scottish Premiership champions Rangers in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.

The Galabankies booked their place after a dramatic seven goal thriller against West of Scotland side Clydebank on Saturday afternoon.

The tie finished 2-2 after 90 minutes before Clydebank took the lead but two goals in the final four minutes of extra time were enough for Annan to progress to the last 16 for only their second time.

The result then set up a draw with Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side for the weekend of February 12. Television games are yet to be confirmed but it is possible Galabank could be in the spotlight.

However, the manager isn’t getting too far ahead of himself.

He said after the game: “Our concentration needs to be on the league and not to get distracted by this. I’ll let the players enjoy their Saturday night and that’s it back to league business.”

Substitute Iain Anderson was the hero with his winner in the 123rd minute to break Clydebank hearts.

“The subs we sent on made a difference and Rob got the goal to make it 3-3 and we think we’re going to penalties. But then Iain pops up with the goal. It’s what dreams are made of and I’m delighted for them both.”

With more than four and a half years in the job, Murphy is Scottish football’s fourth longest-serving manager and put the weekend
