Ryan Naderi Strikes Late to Send Rangers Into Premier Sports Cup Final
Ryan Naderi scored with nine minutes left as Rangers booked a final against Hearts or Hibs and ended Aberdeen’s title defense.
- On Saturday, Rangers secured a 1-0 victory over Aberdeen at Hampden Park to reach the Premier Sports Cup final, keeping the club's hopes of lifting the trophy for the first time since 2023 alive.
- Striker Ryan Naderi scored the decisive goal late in the match, timing his run to convert a low cross from James Penrice; his eighth goal of the season secured the narrow victory.
- Despite the struggle, the victory extends Rangers' unbeaten run to 11 games across all competitions, though manager Derek McInnes noted the performance lacked the fluency seen in recent matches.
- Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson's side frustrated the opposition with a disciplined five-three-two formation but were unable to capitalize on several chances, ending their defense of the competition.
- Rangers now move within 90 minutes of ending a three-year trophy drought, facing either Hearts or Hibs in December's final after their rivals meet in Sunday's second semi-final.
