St Mirren will face Livingston for a place in this season’s Scottish League Cup final after they knocked favourites Rangers out in the last eight with a 3-2 win.
Despite falling behind to Connor Goldson's early goal, the Paisley side hit back through Jamie McGrath's double before Conor scored the decisive strike in stoppage time.
In turn, the result brought to an end Rangers' 27-match unbeaten run since the start of the new season and extend their sequence of competitions without a trophy under Steven Gerrard to seven.
Now St Mirren will play Livingston - who defeated Ross County 2-0 in their quarter-final - for a place in their first major final since they last won the competition in the 2012/13 season.
The other semi-final sees Hibernian, 2-1 winners at Championship side Alloa on Tuesday, taking on St Johnstone after their penalties success at Dunfermline.
Ties will take place on the weekend of January 23 and 24, with the final scheduled to take place at Hampden Park on February 28.
Whoever wins the competition will become the first winners of a major domestic Scottish competition other than Celtic since Hibernian claimed the Scottish Cup in May 2016.
