It's semi-final Sunday in Glasgow's southside as Rangers take on Aberdeen for the remaining place in the Viaplay Cup final.
Celtic dismissed Kilmarnock on Saturday and now it's over to the blue half of Glasgow as Jim Goodwin looks to deal Michael Beale a hammer blow in the early stages of his Gers career. The Ibrox side are yet to lose domestically after a fine start to life under new boss Beale and will understandably go into this afternoon's clash as out-and-out favourites. But they won't get it all their own way against the Dons and, remarkably, Rangers are looking for their first win over Aberdeen in a cup competition since September 2004.
he Gers haven't won the League Cup since 2011 - a stat that Beale will be very keen to consign to the dust bins of history. Jim Goodwin's Aberdeen know they can compete with their opponents over 90 minutes but they'll have to prove the dramatic nature of last month's last-gasp 3-2 defeat against the Gers hasn't left too much psychological damage as they go in search of their first cup triumph since 2014.
Martin Boyle's hat-trick heroics ensured heartbreak for Rangers at this stage of the competition last season, just days after Steven Gerrard's departure for Aston Villa - and Beale will understand the value of getting the first slice silverware in the trophy cabinet early.
