Rangers and Aberdeen will square off in the final of the Scottish League Cup on Sunday.
The Gers are coming into the game on the back of a 3-2 away victory over Real Betis in their final group game in the UEFA Europa League. They twice took the lead in the first half through Abdallah Sima and Cyriel Dessiers but Los Verdiblancos drew level on each occasion courtesy of goals from Juan Miranda and Ayoze Perez.
Kemar Roofe bundled the ball over the line in the 78th minute to help Rangers claim a competitive victory in Spain for the first time in their history. The victory also saw the Glasgow outfit secure their spot in the knockout round as Group C winners.
Aberdeen, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a routine 2-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Europa Conference League. Duk and Ester Sokler scored in either half to help the Dons claim maximum points.
The final will be played at Hampden Park. Rangers booked their spot at the showpiece event with a 3-1 win over Hearts in the semifinal. Aberdeen qualified with a 1-0 victory over Hibernian.
