Kris Boyd was the Rangers hero as the Ibrox side twice came from behind before winning the CIS Insurance Cup final on penalties against Dundee United on an exhilarating afternoon at Hampden.
The Scotland striker, who replaced Sasa Papac just after the hour mark, equalised Noel Hunt's opener five minutes from the end of normal time and again levelled after Mark De Vries had restored United's lead in extra-time.
When the dramatic penalty shoot-out came, it was Boyd who hammered home the last penalty to give the Govan club a dramatic victory.
Willo Flood and De Vries scored their spot-kicks but Craig Conway hit the post and David Robertson and Lee Wilkie had their penalties saved by Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor.
Jean-Claude Darcheville struck the bar and Lee McCulloch had his penalty saved by Lukasz Zaluska but Steven Whittaker and Steven Davis scored, leaving Boyd to take the glory, along with McGregor.
It was an incredible end to an amazing afternoon at the national stadium.
The 17,000 fans from Tayside had the first chance to cheer after 34 minutes when Hunt latched on to a flick from De Vries before bundling the ball over the line at the left post.
United looked to have survived a second-half pounding, but with five minutes remaining midfielder Mark Kerr inexplicably tried to pass back to goalkeeper Zaluska from the edge of his own penalty area. Boyd anticipated the move and gleefully drove home from 12 yards out to force the extra 30 minutes.
The Taysiders looked demoralised at the end of normal time but De Vries struck five minutes into the added period to restore their lead.
In the 112th minute Boyd headed the equaliser for the second time and the game headed for penalties, and soon there was further glory for the Ibrox hitman.
