Rangers have qualified for the Premier Sports Cup final following a narrow 1-0 victory over Aberdeen. The outcome was decided by a late strike from Ryan Naderi, which finally overcame Aberdeen's defensive efforts.

During the first half, Aberdeen successfully limited Rangers to a single shot on target in what was described as a low-quality period of play. However, the momentum shifted after the interval as Derek McInnes’s side increased their intensity.

Following the match, McInnes noted that while the result was successful, there remains significant room for improvement within his squad as they prepare for the final.
