Ryan Naderi's dramatic late strike broke down Aberdeen for a 1-0 win to book Rangers a place in the Premier Sports Cup final.

Rangers defeated Aberdeen 1-0 in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final at Hampden Park on Saturday, courtesy of a late goal from Ryan Naderi. The striker netted from close range in the 83rd minute by redirecting a strike from James Penrice, securing a spot in the December 13 final where Rangers will face either Hearts or Hibernian.
Aberdeen fielded a makeshift lineup due to five defenders missing through injury or suspension, while Emmanuel Gyamfi also exited with a first-half injury. Despite a resilient defensive performance and multiple key saves from goalkeeper Marius Muller, the Dons eventually yielded to relentless second-half pressure from Derek McInnes's side.
