OVER AND OUT
Callum Davidson SACKED by Queen’s Park just five weeks after masterminding epic Rangers cup shock
The gaffer lost his last four games in the dugout
QUEEN'S PARK have dramatically sacked boss Callum Davidson - just over a month after dumping Rangers out of the Scottish Cup.
The 48-year-old former St Johnstone boss masterminded the historic Ibrox victory over the Gers on February 9 but club bosses pulled the trigger after today’s 4-0 loss to Falkirk.

Davidson joined Queen's Park last season with the club in relegation trouble but steered them to safety.
But despite his cup heroics and their mid-table league placing in this season’s Championship, the former Scotland international will now be replaced.
SunSport understands Davidson was summoned within minutes of the final whistle against Falkirk and told he’d been bulleted.
Queens appointed Darren O’ Donnell as their new sporting director last May so he will now oversee the process to bring in their next gaffer.

Davidson has been given the boot with the Spiders sitting seventh in the Championship and well and truly out of the play-off race.
The gaffer lost his last four matches in the dugout and today's latest devastating defeat was the last straw for Queen's chiefs.
The club's last win came against Raith Rovers on March 1 and since then they have fallen to Ayr United, Partick Thistle and Falkirk, while also crashing out of the Scottish Cup to Aberdeen.
Davidson replaced Robin Veldman in the Queens dugout in January last year.

He was axed by the Saints in April 2023 - two years on from his Scottish Cup and League Cup heroics.
And now the former Blackburn Rovers and Leicester City left-back has been shown the door for a second time as manager.
