Rangers v Aberdeen: Can Robinson work Hampden magic in semi-final?

Aberdeen face Rangers in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final at Hampden Park on Saturday, presenting manager Stephen Robinson with a crucial opportunity to revitalize a struggling season. Despite Aberdeen enduring a poor run of only three wins in their opening 11 Scottish Premiership matches, Robinson maintains an unbeaten managerial record in semi-finals at Scotland's national stadium.

Rangers manager Derek McInnes faces his own pressure to secure silverware, with his team unbeaten in 10 matches following heavy investment under American ownership. Aberdeen must contend with the absence of defender Mats Knoester, while McInnes aims to guide Rangers into a December final against either Hearts or Hibernian.
