"Stranraer face the prospect of Scottish Cup expulsion and losing out on a money-spinning trip to face Rangers at Ibrox after fielding an ineligible player in Tuesday's win over Queen's Park. A Scottish FA disciplinary hearing will take place on 28 January to examine the case of Lyndon Tas' involvement, with the on-loan Hearts goalkeeper having saved a penalty in the shoot-out after a 1-1 draw at Stair Park."
"The 17-year-old was recruited on the day of the game, which had been called off on Saturday due to a waterlogged pitch. Cup rules state that only players registered for the original date can play in the event of postponements, abandonments or replays. The governing body can sanction emergency loans but say the move for Tas did not get such approval."
Stranraer risk expulsion from the Scottish Cup after playing on-loan Hearts goalkeeper Lyndon Tas in their win over Queen's Park. A Scottish FA disciplinary hearing is scheduled for 28 January to examine Tas' participation. Tas was recruited on the day of the game, which had been postponed because of a waterlogged pitch. Cup regulations permit only players registered for the original fixture date to play following postponements or abandonments. The Scottish FA says the emergency loan for Tas did not receive approval. If Stranraer are ejected, Queen's Park would replace them in the fifth round; a similar 2023 case led to Queen's Park's own expulsion.
