Steve Tosh scored the first Queen of the South goal in the 2007/08 Scottish Cup final against Rangers to bring the score back to 2 - 1. Rangers eventually ran out 3 - 2 winners despite Queens' battling second half display.^[1]

Tosh commented in The Scotsman after the cup final with Queens, "We showed what we're capable of in the second half, and when I went into the Rangers dressing room they knew they had been in a game. But I'm still bitterly disappointed, even more devastated than I was with Gretna – I'm getting sick of picking up losers medals and I'd have much preferred us winning a crappy game 1-0."

Tosh added, "I thought the free-kick that led to their first goal was very soft and that lots of decisions that were given against us were very easy to give. Sean O'Connor got pushed in the back in the box at the back post and it was as blatant as the nose on my face but that would have been a decision against Rangers in a cup final at the Rangers end and that's just not going to happen."

On 3 October 2007 Tosh appeared in court on a petition claiming he severely injured a man after struggling and fighting with him on the ground in Dumfries the previous week.^[2] He was granted bail with the case to continue.
