Fraserburgh dream of repeating 1959 cup upset

For some, barring an upset of historical proportions, progress to the Scottish Cup fourth round is just all about a big pay day and the romance of the cup.

Fraserburgh's Sunday visit to Ibrox Stadium, a match being shown live on BBC One Scotland, surely comes into that category.

Philippe Clement has survived calls from some fan groups for his sacking after Rangers fell so far behind reigning champions Celtic in the league race, but the Belgian manager would surely never recover should the side sitting ninth in the Highland League be the first Scottish team to win at Ibrox this season.

Mark Cowie's Fraserburgh are themselves unbeaten in 11 outings, but only three of them were away from home and all those were draws.

Rangers, last season's beaten finalists, were visitors to Fraserburgh almost exactly seven years ago, leaving with a 3-0 win, but the part-timers' chairman, Michael Murray, says it is the size of the likely crowd at Ibrox that will be a financial game-changer for his club this time.

They did beat League 1 side Annan Athletic in the last round, but virtually nobody expects a repeat of 1959, when the Highland side beat Dundee, then third in the top flight, 1-0 in one of the greatest cup upsets.
