Striker Kris Boyd scored a late equaliser for Rangers at Ibrox as second division Partick Thistle clung on for a 1-1 draw in the Scottish Cup quarter-final.

Boyd, who scored twice and then hit the decisive penalty in Rangers's League Cup final shootout win on Sunday, knocked in the equaliser against Thistle just two minutes after Damon Gray slotted home the opener.

Rangers struggled to make any impact on a frustrating night and it took almost an hour for them to manage an effort on target when Steve Naismith sent a 58th-minute header skidding off the top of the bar.

Thistle stunned the home support by snatching the lead with Gray's goal on 67 minutes.

He latched onto a low ball from Gary Harkins before drilling a 15-yard shot across keeper Allan McGregor into the bottom left.

Boyd levelled matters almost immediately after a goalmouth scramble, and Rangers were booed off the pitch by their supporters at the final whistle.

The winners of the replay meet second division St Johnstone in the semi-finals while the other tie is between Aberdeen and Queen of the South with the games to be played on the weekend of April 12 and 13.
