Stranraer kicked out of Scottish Cup after fielding ineligible player
Stranraer have been kicked out of the Scottish Cup for fielding an ineligible player against Queen's Park.
Goalkeeper Lyndon Tas saved a penalty in their shootout after a 1-1 draw at Stair Park after being signed on loan from Hearts on the day of the game.
The match had initially been scheduled three days prior but was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.
Cup rules state that players can only take part in the match if they were registered for the original date of the game.
Queen's Park will now progress in their place and take on Rangers at Ibrox in the next round.

Manager Chris Aitken believes missing out on that tie will cost them a payday of around £200,000.
