Annan chief Peter Murphy branded Rangers’ killer third goal “a freak” and later insisted his players should savour creating history for the club.
The League Two side were beaten 3-0 by the Scottish champions in their Scottish Cup fifth round tie before a 2,500 capacity crowd at Galabank.
But Murphy said: “I told the players that they’ve made history for the club … and that they should enjoy that they got to play against Rangers."
