ASLIVE | Rangers v Aberdeen | 1987 League Cup Final

most experienced the longest-serving roughly in Scotland was the Bob Ballantine from Dundee relaxed for the occasion checking with all his went for the smiling time to get what she set its Aberdeen who will start the match youngsters up front the small League Cup final is underworld so they're singing and chanting here principally the moment coming from the Rangers fans to open humble the upper ghanians substantially of course seeing was gone are calming things down escorting the ball back to his goalkeeper Jim Layton took off to any mob a tackle from the back by Miller mother flaky on the first three think of the match well questionnaire that both came through the legs of problem flight with that tackle I sort of wanted to start the match for the young Ranger struggle three of Roberts of the feet run by Simpson mrs. Ferguson all McCoist from heat tongue and a good effort from McCoy's flick was waved off side with one that he was at the finial mark who is a magnet of some debates this is fine play from Ally McCoist look at his confidence tumbling in the ball trying to fight the shot toward the top corner and Layton was happy to see that over very much on for my limacoids for your confidence you know full of tricks full of running I think he's going to be a key minder the Albert dounia's you'll have to keep them quiet today as the Timmy playing it forwards to the nickel [Applause] by MacLeish in a late challenge by Fleck picked up by referee Valentine just a little bit reckless bundling him to the Aberdeen Center half after the head that had gotten and the police which unperturbed as he waits to take the free kick a feel indication the end that referee Valentine is going to stamp or anything at the start of a match well always in the first couple of minutes you know the defenders especially you know late to influence a game a little bit but before was never there playing it forward only as far as Willie Miller as corner poplar is offside on the far side instant day and Beverly Valentine here is they're known for being wait up with play [Applause] the golfers joined the attack for ages we'll be Cooper [Applause] give me a bet McCoist cut off the job to Layton and gold and this is Robert Connor nickel that is collected by Hewitt operating white on the left and the early stages of the match is blocked by few experienced Plano John Hewitt despite his 24 years many Cup Finals already forever Dean we're both flying the overhead twins but he played the role out and he set up the mobile head kick so I throw to Aberdeen Simpson good play from Hewitt stepping away from Ferguson you know sweetie cross and it broke oculi often roll for the corner kick but there was a fleeting chance there for Willie fought that inside the six-yard box the wall seemed to flash across rather quickly look at those trimmed Hewitt's poplar couldn't get on the end of either of these balls and haven't even have to settle for the corner Alisha's wait up and say the set chart box marked by gogh blown away by an akai strangers pulling everyone back to the box is really mellow no popping up on the wait plank Sicard central defender but that's not quite so accomplished that I'd say from its idealism it was a difficult ball for will it turn back first came there when I was running away from towards a touch lane we tried his spinning tunnel and then let the code with it but it's nice to see that too Albertina not overall by the occasion no they don't there too to have a goal and it was amazing at AK Jimmy gets the high ball forward back to robots robots has put under pressure by Faulkner now that appeared to get tripped by robots and the free kick has been given we were to hold him back with a left arm and catch him as he tried to sprint away it was a chemist by Spike that by Roberts does exposed to yet an attack in the early stages of the match if you walk on lining up the wall five in all lining up winning blue and front of the aventine free-kick with Nicholas and Hewitt and Bette Miller and Simpson in front of the wall has Walker tries to organize things in front with two men trying to blame to the arrangers wall and the goalkeeper reflected from bet there's some Sun and our splendid shaved out by Nikki walk out of night will do his conference lots of good Rangers defense product as the free-kick broke off the wall it was deflected wide it came back inside there was Simpson thrusting his way forward as well block by Walker turn away [Applause] selectivity and say the six-yard box cough and the gate and my fleece together again pushing by Miller please decision but couldn't have been closer to the action they Melo was upset because he ended up on the ground they're thinking about pushing both ways though but a skin it's a soul a burden at the moment they've got Rangers in all sorts of trouble I thought I was a good save by walking how to do his confidence are very good brutally primal on both the waiting golf the nets Bangor's Neil Simpson he was brought down by Ferguson bill Simpson short of full fitness it's certainly not apparent in these opening minutes he really is Kitana [Music] Jimmy nickles head on push your eyes by flight that's good play from funneh uh Nicholas his bets this was done very quickly indeed in midfield he was forced to play it back to Miller Timmy being a run on the rights but I didn't have to start all over again with McLeish Joe Miller towards for my Hewitt's Phil Miller with Timmy so this one for fought for the tracy's three of the Rangers defense and don't girls will he fault that [Applause] number eleven penalty given instantly robots protesting I really can't think why this looks can be very clear let's see it from behind the goal vault I got in behind the square ring of Defense good play going beyond the keeper and that appeared to me to be a clear penalty kick I don't think I can have any complaints I don't think it was a good enough penalty Jim Bert he'll take it there's three out of three so far this season for 100% glycolic States heavy facies Nicky Walker [Applause] insisting that the ball is spotted correctly that's not good for the nerve this will certainly test Jim bet [Applause] against Walker brilliantly finished by Jim boots nine minutes into the first half and Aberdeen take the lead Jim Brett remaining the Carla's player and a few hold that fast Niki Walker well this is perfectly stock penalty kick welcome in a fine F up going white the patient at wall was too great so bets boots Aberdeen ahead I was an F tingling penalty kick you know and that stayed cool book even read that way was going but didn't really get it but a great start to the match by our begin they're looking by far the better safe look to me don't like a team that that know each other Rangers at the more novel playing like a team of strangers rude old thing my skull I think the MIR world the question marks in the Rangers camp - about how easily they were penetrating through the middle by William the one the certain appear to be quite square and of course scream robots and Richard golf playing and central defense together for the first time Ian well that's right as I seen it that a you know you look at the team when you see about hang on I know they're good players but you have to play together in a long time when you look at our demon and you've got maleta MacLeish there you know who a million games chod Plymouth is aberdeen aberdeen as mckimie makes the clearance nickel first of all good Casey played by a nickel Museum Durant Michael again was excellent play by John Jones that was ideal defensive midfield way by any young Aberdeen player and he lost out in midfield that matched the run forward by nickel to make that challenge we would head out by robots there's McCoist Cooper Timmy steps in this is Hewitt the run-up Nichol was very quick indeed John Hewitt Robert spotted it NGO to provide cover for his pullback from Innova Simpson that was towards you Simpson gets it back robot screamin has a vital role to lead this Rangers efforts minified well he's been the most consistent player for Rangers this year of what's quite a few that angels marching but grim Citizen Service said that robots has been outstanding performance Furguson running straight in tibet flag is up against your miller Timon its unpassed King from Cooper new harmlessly I couldn't reach it that's through with Jim Layton is difficult to take back once they go in front I think the statistics say that there's only once in the last eight finals that the teammates got crushed lost or missing I think that's wait the inn and that certainly is an impressive statistic to Barton aberdeen funds but any couple with the throw for Rangers yes Ferguson was McCoist in the middle he goes up with melodic rates for Durant's well there's the Menace of the interent again racing into the box from his midfield position to get on the end of a loose ball and this could so easily have been equalizer ferguson doing well sliding it in milord going up with McCoy's it breaks loose and there was Durrant leaning back as he shot you look at the enemy job as little half chances you know it was below because he was under pressure as a ball bouncing was under pressure by defender there's a little half chance mckimie Milla sets off in chase he's very quick and golfers forced to Sweden to concede the corner kick I love Athena had problems with goal scoring this season but they certainly I'm not short of patient attacked with John Malone and John Hewitt I look very quick huh very very quick and I think that's going to be the problem afternoon for Rangers you know containing the speed of the other team team Tom McLeish goes forwards relationally fashion now Abbott being have the initiative at the moment whatever was also in the Box there's Faulkner Willie my love trying to get on the end of that and McGregor stood his ground and not in a way for another corner kick be really careful there he didn't do any pushing into the back of McGregor see the second goal Richard God has picking up McLeish in the six-yard box with Patricia's managed to get away the last couple of corners for them return bet and as MacLeish it's off the line by Ferguson both golf and Walker washed back to us washed the corner kick what a lets off that was the Rangers was Goff going in Simpson trying to get the ball across the face of the goal plates upwardly off Simpson well this is quite remarkable and off the Knox corner kick that set up all a trouble as Jim bet put it across was missed by everyone in blue and there were the chance to McLeish I don't think he could quite believe it cleared by Ferguson well I just say that you know he's getting away from his marker and their fish I really should have done better this is Connor or Joe Miller put in play by kana he's very as long as the pass goes across for Rangers have the goal no question at all is the Aberdeen midfield which is taking a stranglehold on the match early on that in Simpson in particular those grand Roberts with class-wide from Nicole miss Ferguson nickel once been a ton stepping away from wanna direct listen again at least like over hard by the killers the wallop you to strike the handle Valley McCoist yes the prefix been given by referee Valentine Boise I think for testing that wasn't intentional he certainly can't fault but if he's positioning in or he's up with play I think it was one of those where that the ball just jumped up and hit one hand and anyway I've had being a wonder ball I think he made just a lot of uniform [Applause] but not going up with robots [Applause] the Liberals head up his mckimie are they accurate films that film illustrate to his fullback mr. Miller they can make one for himself here's mckimie that's for Faulkner no Joe Miller appear to be Hanbal to by Miller yes we took the Rangers it stopped the hand the journal that helped him control it billboards mark out of the dugout for Rangers with some instructions no offense isn't a beaker another in yourselves protests from religious camp again as the free-kick has given my Valentine to Aberdeen the penalised robber flick shot one preferred again by a burden on our pitching that in an offside flag was up on the far side the culprit was Joel Miller I think Rangers are trying to sort out that little problem of stopping Aberdeen attacking down the flanks you know they were managing to get our burden out Rangers down boys flanks and they're I mean did the Cooper for instance they've been inconspicuous hasn't chancy's to show his talents or fire much where's Nicholas no Falkner Milan was on site despite the appeal from skip Monroe we play by Durant's and we kick goes to windows as the avid invention for the field right in the middle where substitutes are brain grant and Peter Weir there's McCoist we play from Nicholas Simpson under pressure losing Oakland Ferguson so it was blocked by Milan this place my robots with the Kois again Miller is incensed McCoist took a hard knock in the Cavs thunders from McCoist let's see how Millan handle this when he goes going through the clear once again from the bike and that for my money was certainly a frequent well I would I would have been a little upset if I was melodic because I think he made a good clean contact to the bowl job he's fit through a voice legend got the ball let's know it again when he came through the legs of McCoys to get to the ball and I certainly thought it was fear but the free kicks been given that certainly not in doubts and it gives David Cook well in particular a marvelous opportunity from the 18 yard line where we simmer how I was seeing any way that the haven't seen Cooper but it could well be that we can make an impact in the you know [Applause] so anxiety I think in the range of friendship the ability of a very strong player low McCoist he shrugs off not to anyone on the events under the fact that it was never present the Ranger said while season under season so far this is very few mighty screw injuring the rangers predict what whoops is there so is David Cooper I really fancy everybody the Cooper who tries to bend one across the wall every insisting the wall comes back the full ten yards and that's what's easier to measure when you can tell about the 18 yard line the six online they're also so it's an easier class but what I've read to identify robot says dictating things Jews have equalized baby [Laughter] [Applause] [Laughter] well I think I called the rate job they know that his first kick in the hunt what a kick it was normally the expect them to bender but he blasted that one to mendes power that seemed to break slightly the shot came out later to avoid that short hit one to me well bets away by Monroe really rest away and cut Alec Matisse Walter Smith on his feet were some instructions [Applause] trying to understand enough remarkable was his first goal of the season that's a good leap by robots there's flex McGregor and Bette tangling and they come down quickly enough with Jim bet he certainly was the offender leaning into McGregor as the ball was in the air thankfully that little incident came to nothing Tim Roberts was injured at the moment as well he's which to me as ever he stuck his arm when his elbow with Cooper if they score the cost before McCoy's convince the ball Misha McCoy's together this plate that was on that at full stretch to cut that off being world coveting assemble defense let's peace is beginning to pay off for angels [Applause] [Applause] picked up by Nicolas losing one from Nicole this is mr. walls fault none it's won by golf here's Neil Simpson forward to pick up possession mrs. Cooper for renters we should the sense during the long running into trouble one by Cooper this is Ferguson flex Ferguson not straight to Nichols Simpson and few it away from Ferguson good play in a flank again from John Hewitt to miracle [Applause] peace on the field and atactic would take about flaky McCoy's for Rangers here within Miller for Aberdeen John few it will swing at this time please waiting at the edge of the box Mulla Mulla he couldn't reach it that thundering it in it away by Nikhil from the ball clear there's McCoist that's the bullying play supported by IBM [Applause] twice again turned away by Jim bet [Applause] [Music] there's Monroe McLeish we're go-getters penalized for bundling into Peter Nicholas help that in disguise well it's certainly alive in the game off as far as Rangers are concerned if there's all of a sudden I know great bang in the game and with a lot more confidence well one buy golf corner playing into space looking for Joe Milla and though is their first mckimie was very quick and group of did well to recover in a way dr. Betts was Joe Miller Nicholas mr. Worf you it sliced kids bridezilla Nicole Bergdorf was there for Rangers he's coming in fiercely to win the ball let's to it away from Quran still John Hewitt doing too much a thing gonna call himself though he had a lot of movement around them but you it likely to keep possession and no Rangers can break with Tom MacGregor McCoist it says Cooper a little bit slow in the blowing nickel to make the challenge be ridiculous good tidying play in midfield by Nicholas [Music] so half an hour gone Rangers one Aberdeen one superb entertainment in that opening half-hour Aberdeen taking a trip in the mines very early on could Suey they've been more than one ahead until that magnificent free-kick from daily cook I've got things back to square his flat for Rangers now Juran they'd fight by McCoys for Ferguson your aunt's casual flick inside which will equate forward on this far as Nikhil Roberts gives it the Simpson yes bet John McGregor is gonna be given the task of keeping Jim bet quiet let's do it to us now he's with Richard golf came off golf it's a corner kick to Aberdeen the question edge in terms of corners one as McLeish again go is full of them this time I think Aberdeen prefer the in swing Emma's Tim bet is delegated at Asko taking the corner so I'd stop for the night sham for such a long way off and pristine Judy and the of course ball which is sucked away by a Munroe with Joe Miller no bet once again I oppose cross cause walk on a free clinic Oh fine see yes will he fall started getting a little bit upset when the goal mouth Nicky Walker collecting the daily catch this cost then that was confident goalkeeping as bet made room for the far post cross up white Walker under intense pressure and if we had judged that a firewall a fault they're getting a little bit upset there will be a little bit of delay for some treatments to Walker Timothy and yeah but in benchers peter weird ingrain grunts there's some warming up on this haven't even acquired him I was a good cut to players and the importer fields you know got that one and it said to me before the game that things weren't going too well obviously you know Peter via to come on because he felt it played well in midweek no Nicky Walker has treatment to his left heel or left ankle says background for shorts and frosty mopey rinses obviously its first appearance today that's the number one you see the certainly has done well so far I guess head on this plate looking for McCoist Willie Morano was there calmly and it's no Kimmy what a room no for Connor on the left there's the old Simpson driving at the Rangers box well tackled by Ferguson films play nickel which is Nicholas those were few it with tackle by Jimmy nickle we took golf for the header and Durant seized the chance to break for Rangers was well read by McLeish that fashion direct Jimmy Simpson good play from Aberdeen midfield Dominika and the call but he's strong on the right side and that's where she wants to go because he's a left-sided player [Applause] three tackles Dominica and the joke will do very very important you know Hewitt's quite rightly I'm gonna go up I'm trying to get past him but it was three very good chuckles bye wasting well is Fleck listen time to release McCoy on the right and slake miscue and I flow to Aberdeen just look in the face of Walter Smith the Rangers coach [Music] ten minutes of the first half left Rangers one ever beam one splendid match infovis here's Robert Connor now brought down by Roberts I think you can take it he doesn't agree I think perhaps the range of bench else is new by the free-kick it is and do bad things with it cleared he's not at all happy with any tackles from the back [Applause] please goes forward again John Hewitt and his left foot will take this pre-k through 8 swinger no one at the far post and it's McCoist bike in defense for Rangers that was played away by Betts who is our gain with the lanes moon than it should have been a number Dean [Applause] Valentine I mean I would say that from he had jumper hair has got a good kisser and set the lictors of my choice quite suits and fish below would be put all four ranges we're gonna go to Durant this is McCoist in the middle is flex yes David Cooper coming from a deep position to run to flack good tackle by : a very important one because Ferguson was free on the right for renters I know I wouldn't ride to be going to suffer with a quick break has been held up well by Nikhil but he's away from this time this Faulkner Makonnen and the first time ball inside was blocked by nickel on the cool spot very hard and defense for ages but well again Jimmy nickel but I'm very impressed away that the Aberdeen team had thrown the pillbox forward and on both sides again a lot of spaceman when the lads come forward from the bike with the Nikolas with the crow it's Connor or the attack again the cross from Nicholas Gough is there Oh phew it waits for McKinney this time the rightful bike rabbit in his time there's bet face of John McGregor with Simpson switching it to the left for Nicholas the Simpson had space for the short alright but appear to being too big of honey and we'll see when the ball reaches him this time comes from Nicholas no Simpson we had a little bit of time here but he snatched up the shot yeah actually didn't give himself enough room when he when he control Dvorak and he knocked it just a half a yard ahead of him he did go better straight partum into the ball but again you see that was a fullbacks both fullbacks involved in the build-up again for all of you yes the winning one back to come up McLeish and Miller who are with the Rangers front to flake and McCoy certainly free to get pull up another careless challenge there by Fleck there's Miller hitting the ball away plate to boot came up that's why it's a free kick free kick up girl is will he Faulkner quite what he intended I think but trying to get away from bet this flat no question about that then goes Platon Ilyich McLeish was clocked by the very quick tongue of the ranger striker and I think the flesh will be [Laughter] here's why I like McLeish being shown the yellow cards flex setting himself up for at UM inside the police stood out of range caught the range displayed on the back question about the phone yes I thought I don't think it can really quitter the referee's decision out when job he came flying in there and really had no chance of winning the ball you know it was a situation where you can see that Mike was going to ton with it and it would have been better the register held off a lot of light getting treatment and there's his back row and a lot of people think he should be a regular nurse Ranger site but too much Falcon has been preferred many times in recent weeks but selected for this particular task against McLeish and Miller where you see him getting back on his feet [Applause] lady creep was freaking who's Neil Simpson [Music] throw Lala to Walter Smith expressed some anxiety once again Jimmy nickles head up his flank - honks head up - McCoist here's Durant the great Tunstall Rangers [Laughter] [Laughter] I was a superb mover it was lovely to semen from acquaint of all off normally with time Tom himself but this boy Durant is what an exciting young players [Laughter] Oh [Applause] there's the Timmy and Faulkner had the chance no job as a vault came over you see I think it just caught him on the shins there and just run away from him you know had he been able to even just say put up it was a chance and a killer blasting but I mean it's at the Tour de no for Aberdeen to fight their way back inside again but we've played a lot good football and created enough chances I think they found it by [Applause] then winters jubilant for the moment sticky start to the match [Applause] to God robots give me this bet it's good place of milk asking too much well the one thing you can say about their interest him in their certainly vital and when we saw that last meal I don't mean in a physical sense no they really they do play when I get behind them they've done that again today they swim a lot of resilience look character and it we've done a half time when I thought I would even possibly but had been a better saved in the first 45 but well done Rangers for fighting back I got a peek at syringes that took months on the maybe in 50 seconds or so is when they falkland screams the ball and no free-kick is given that's with Aberdeen the Vantage hill applied is bet his possession coming across field Connor makes a good angle good play for the full bite now if you its back in level terms one nickel again doing well with that challenge to run also stepping in voice breaking nicholas is with him Joe McCoy steers to be no way through did well to get back to Durant what's hold on inside judging the fast micro so minutes in this first half picked up by Nicholas up by Monroe coming from his eye and Durant goes down after a clash with Willie Faulkner but everybody once played to continue there's no holdup at all and as fight Phil Bors was already on the field despite not getting permission from the referee the English players clearly well unhappy about what a fault that but it's the referee who is now going over one with billboards before entering the field without his permission well I've played with Phil Boersma at Liverpool it was always a bit quick you know but it's never as quick as that circle in what's too quick for the making of referee Bob Valentine Durant is still sitting on the ground and say the center circle the incident which upset that Durant and the Rangers players comes up here and there's no question will he fault that goes in late with his boot up and really I think he's a lucky player not to incur the wrath over referee Valentine for endurance record Oh in the international side and I think he may well be a fixture and I'm one of the motors that f3 is going to ever drop ball because if so is going to be inside the Rangers box know that really Rangers in these particular circumstances in Caston ah stuff the only way to run we'll pull the huffed I'm notall and whisk and although I take this [Applause] [Music] [Applause] clearly making his you know what a tremendous force of it was [Applause] through five three particular 21st minute minute one each and Rangers came right back into the heart until this goal coming five minutes of halftime set up by this little flick in sight by McCoys a darting gone from torrent a superb finish [Music] I think the only 10 minutes of the second half will be crucial often I think they will dictate what might happen as the game goes on how about in we'll have to get right back and start the second half the way they started the first there are no substitutes for the second half so far neither side has been tempted to make a change as Rangers get the second half underway was interesting to consider at halftime the impact that might be made by substitutes Trevor Francis and RB prowin for Rangers Brian grant and Peter weird fancies that Peter weird may be involved before very well yes I think Peter Weir will make his appearance at some stage in the second half I think Trevor Francis is a good substitute for Rangers as the one he is flight breaking on the right forensics like - groans - Jimmy nickle Tim Layton commanding his area leaving his grasp what's with the header big wall from the Coliseum bet night Ramallah now you're in law this time that's a God that he should put it in the box with the clearance priced to Ferguson let's could play from nickel first riches McCoist instantly oh that's good clear gentlemen if you rant releasing flake on the weights dalek Ferguson in Milan go to the ball and yes Hewitt he's very quick indeed but all that's read that well what appear to be a fouled by Hewitt on robots yes any takers giving a handshake between robots I rape on a half-time whistle about the challenge my fault Angela like he settle down set-piece once again and tossed it to any coupon for readers a good understanding an avid in defense looking sure the world was through harmlessly to Layton to that but was bet forward by McGregor plenty of time ahead of formula [Applause] the bullet there appears to be an alteration in the Aberdeen midfield and that with the Nicolas appears to have been asked to look after in Durant what's those sorting runs a little afield Jimmy nickle the case this time good clearance by McKinney with Jimmy nickle whipping the ball across once again and a good once more now that in full by x2 it mckimie that person Simpson reaching bet he is Nicholas we're running from suit McKinney and for working so hard in defense no supporting the attack so the whole taking no chances with and you're more than cause attendance pushing forward again a start of the second mark killing by two girls two one [Applause] after taking an early lead this bike in 1981-82 that the team came back from it all behind to win the league cup that was when we'll just beat Thunder United 2-1 but from that seven times out of the last eight team that scored first one little he is Robert Connor mr. pull over that bus you've been impressed by Robert Kahn and I think so far in the match yes I have actually you know I think he's a very good player as the Aberdeen looked to me to have a lot of good young players waiting faced with all that up the front and Jim Allen as well a lot hanging on people Nicholas Kodama Dean offside flag is up miss angle at very close decision indeed there's Connor again doing a good job in the left for a birdie going in field to take the question Nicolas Kim here both cool bikes up with the attack give me trying to get through the gap fun running into Stuart Monroe Hrithik has been given Errol and thought that McKinney played from that I think there was a gap there that he couldn't really get through job but with every look tangley on it if your Walker look sweaty come indeed in gold for windows once a two-man wall lined up Cooper and Fleck all the big men waiting in the middle Simpson is there so as McLeish at the far corner of the box is Hewitt leaving it to bet on the way by Maggie they get a good defensive header that he covered Willie Miller all the way in John McGregor there was the far post cross from bet and McGregor kept designing the ball all the way [Applause] oh the door lane bet plays it into water near post when raw was there with Alec McLeish it's another corner kick to Aberdeen mr. Poirot's got that wait I protected loan by [Music] for the wall in the lights to better corner tick golf got to it back from melodic Conor hustling tactics by Rangers go from defense the hand was used by neil simpson the range of bringing overly flared bike to defend a corner kick le McCoist who was back to make that toons [Applause] crimson is cinder directors box looking on calmly as Rangers hold onto their to one [Applause] miss Nicole it's too heavy for the passports Jimmy nickle had his critics healing glass going in but he certainly has battled well for into the supplement well his distribution has never been strong as I said Jimmy's but I'll tell you is tackling today had been first-class delightful piece of play by Cooper once again here's Durant Blake in McCoy's that upfront this flight back to Durant [Applause] coming from the middle of the field ninja run again springing forward purposefully looking for the return pass from Fleck anxious to have a shot on target it really is an exciting young player doesn't a job you know and to have players from midfielder you come to him and support the attack and look for balls as great to see just didn't quite get a hold it up the field is Neil Simpson for Aberdeen was bet you had a great start for the match was impeded by McGregor [Applause] [Music] with it for keeps he's in the box again there's Joe Miller no bet comes off day via coupon the corner kick is awarded Aberdeen's and forge on viewit to take an inswinger into the box arrives once again leaving on this to McKinney back in the center circle that would in every ranger square inside his own box not the ball well taken by Walker [Applause] three six that I'm going to pushing but what can look very calm indeed he's certainly dead I don't think it was impeded in any way because he he came out took the ball high in between very good cuts maybe Albertina thought at halftime he earthy to lob the ball and under the crossbar it could fit under some pressure but he looked very confident there cost a hundred thousand pounds when he was 1983 Chris Wood's yes Hewitt for the middle it goes des will they fall down on good goalkeeping again by Walker Walker was put there by father the Rangers defenders not at all happy about the challenge where this ball from joins you it [Applause] God circles gun and a brave save by Walker I don't think it could blame falkland in any way their job you had to go for the ball it was a 50/50 between a goalkeeper in the 4-1 and unfortunately we're walking came off to watch the wizard well good determined breathe goal keeping in his shot to coming off his goal line because that really was nasty moment for Rangers words popped up breaking through the central defense now look at the way there's ball comes doing I was that I'll sign well I would have thought he looked off site said unless there's somebody very wait but I don't think so he certainly was also there certain appear to be and if you walk yourself are not concerned about that so well with a save 25 years old well elasticity before the truck Wallace who brought him back from Leicester having taken him alone in the first place [Music] very nice if he has one appearance on our South one course at the mountain ranges leading by two girls to one yes David Cook that's for Ferguson like men a good run looking to go inside my voice wants a shot past where they prefer ste New Aesthetic focusing behind with a Nicholas Jim bet and the far side is corner doodad they head out about it his trust misplaced John threw it taken down by Durant he was taught by few it click results and the windows he has none the wash with the Gulfstream thank you for my cost Ilana's cannot tries to get away from McCoist there's good play by Connor boys don't quickly go by Jimmy nickel the strongest part of John McGregor's games so now the anticipated substitution is made by import the field forever beenit's Peter Greer who is coming on and 50,000 pounds and 19 anyone Jimmy's long-ball can't see through it offside Luke's is though I would in of adjusted by playing we're on the Left John Willard on the right was Hewitt joining what a fault good for the middle it's no got to be very interesting to see if we are contacting an echo line and we know Wednesday night in a European game you look very lively kiddo we are so if we can see it's flashes of that form it could be a problem for winters get off the head of play Jimmy Nicole the lay off it's collected by Ferguson his first gonna been Baldwin of the match the world challenged by McKinney Tom DeLay challenger from Ferguson where Tanglewood there's no malice and they all the gamers tracked by Cooper like authentic Ferguson coming back former Rangers fans we're delighted to see that David wanted to get involved there you know fight for the ball one example it's no often you see him dinner physical involvement [Applause] a pronounced roll in the left side of midfield for Windows there's a chance for Faulkner and Roberts goes across one of the night's gone that's two one two Rangers to the challenge see yes I must say that they don't look as if they're in know about Medina in any way there's help they've come out with another hanging onto that the to one result but the Doudna in a positive manner Henry finds touch taken by Supra know he's looking towards the bench for some instruction there has to be some everybody's coming from that area again [Applause] blech horrendous muscle roll away by McLeish as well one by MacLeish and the control from bet was instant Cooper again buckling back the goody faithful Rangers but losing out to Nikolas mr. Miller that's a good early passenger aunt came back to make the tackle on bet in the gym bet that he thought he died and a lot of for will that I cut seeing Durant it shows by gerunds we bite killer that by few it mr. Miller Oh paceman roll good force with Dominical it was my Gregor that appear to be nimble continue as people who had picked it up for Aberdeen well that's great play from we're and I'm on my cell phone in the end we said we are showing the clean up trying to demonstrate is so frequently in past years if it Audrey the Alec cross from Joe Mellon scrambled away by nickel then that appeared to be a handball by McGregor but the advantages are loners we had picked up a look at this for cost control making his way the shooting area and that certainly wasn't far away [Applause] I'll buy Cooper on the Joel Miller nobody can take 3/5 as quickly as they want and closing girl in the kicker who is Jim Beth this is Willie Miller [Applause] well as a good player game from the full-back four-passenger and so they're not to cut up for the same standard but he certainly looked very positive indeed just one international cat that night against Holland away from home when he played so well on the left side of the scottish midfield some encouraging features up again jock that you know players from both sides that i wanted to take defenders on it all be very positive today and they're having a go and check it faster and i mean the football has been terrific he's going up high ball took one place it into Durant hello by milla can they kill us locks it into the middle of the field bring up with Monroe tested down by Cooper really Mill it again Nicholas only does it as far as my guy maybe crippled egg Silva I was good player John Cooper he's known his left foot here's McCoist fine but from my voice on the tongue and it was trooping again calling the shots coming from the middle of field using himself away from that challenge from John through its say stepping Nikolas threatening to shoot then releasing McCoist on the right with noise I think trying to play lacrosse the face of the goal playing it into the side netting [Applause] people again see more than more Frances though on the track for warming up see him before long that said there would be a taking move from Rangers it's on you at door Aberdeen and once again making the tackle is two-minute all foreigners [Applause] notice it once again between syllables 9p them a ploy we're towards Papa here again as Hewitt ahead retaining possession well it still has wheel on the outside okay we're take on nickel people are going either way Peter we are it's a good cross up goes Joe Miller who your sends it back in manners John McGregor head Clinton oats group defensive hit a lot from McGregor this mckimie up goes Gough Nicolas don't be ridiculous on the drop but good concerted attacking play this from Aberdeen Peter we're at the heart of it all waiting that across and that was joe miletto couldn't that Ike that on target we have kept the ball in play that was a great ball in and a good piece of defending my MacGregor salaphi nowhere has been an impact has allegiances come on looks very very exciting today goes pork belly with Roberts nickel Kimi door fit well on the pressure from Willie Faulkner personal space ahead of him they call losing at default no no Rangers unexposed here's Willie Faulkner he has help inside that's a golf good world cutting off that angle but ravening still in possession with peace and we're ready for the byline and hoping for a corner kick who thought there was a deflection but Jimmy nickle will be a very relieved defendant after will he fault that robbed him and had that chance to race in on the Rangers goal terrible mistake by Jimmy I mean that had that one resulted in a goal I'm sure you know he'd have been so disappointed because he's had such a good game you know it's been very very steady today but to make a mistake without this is a real planet because beaten by Fleck who got well from one so shot just conned it again that is to mckimie hugging the right that's my know forever bean nuts from a Kimmie again no bet but it's too far ahead the stration on the face of Jim Bettis he goes back in a central position for Aberdeen in the midfield [Applause] head-on by Cooper again good morning once more why to rent Connell is there in the middle for Aberdeen and it goes the husband's it again with Joe Miller mckimie what's Faulkner his head to the ball but Monroe was quick enough from the recovery to send it back to Walker [Music] MacLeish speeding McCoy's in the air there's Peter we're welcome did well this is Hewitt's with the bike killer intended for Faulkner a little bit of zip appears to have been out on that happen in attack well and I would say that there's still very much in again jock and then the Rangers finds a singing overs that look keep the team going but it I think they're always aware of the Aberdeen know that Peter was on the field you know have one or two ideas and could catch him I think Aberdeen have got to get the ball to hear joining you at they're trying to be a little bit clever we'll about heal just a minute ago when really all I needed to do was roll out two we have him Donegal Hewitt supporting Oakland McCoy spinning a ball formerly melon so we'll just throw this point we appeal of Peter wheel [Applause] once again the ball goes to arrangers and there'll be quite content to walk the ball up the touchline the brain doesn't have the lead two by two goals to one no flick leaving it to Ferguson its back with nickel Durant immediately put under pressure by Nicolaus that's what he's so good at actually said an outstanding game today Peter Nicholas because Joel Miller trying to get away from Cooper if I didn't make contact with the ball but held up the progress of Miller Park was Josh Walker caught in two minds he's a great chance for to it yes 18 minutes life will play you thought the field comes off brings a but in fact too many turns bring to them she will not want to see again very hard to win possession [Laughter] robots there was Hewitt and Walker caught in no man's land well I've been saying about you done necklace us with a move started but good work by Miller Graham Roberts gets their head about you can see Hewitt nobody around on at all all attend their world and the goalkeeper really I think maybe Blaine did a little apart of the family history of coming for again fall Everdeen supported by Tim bet Jove a lot of the man who made that goal roll phones well taken by Nikki Walker getting a look for took goal and White's driving on against Monroe on the left foot shot bring out a good saiful Walker so to each into the late stage of the minds remember expert scores stay level we'll be here for every there has to be a winner us up in penalty kicks all the quiet eventually it is Connor laughing hard for Rangers system inacol this change of mind no problem and defense America Chancellor John Hewitt was too good for him finis he goes to run again running straight in tomorrow with a superb tackle obviously has something to say to a referee and I can't think why but I'm suggesting to come up with the same kind of tackle as the one which one throwing McCoy's them gave Cooper the opening goal for Rangers from the free kick right for McKinney yes I think you called it right there you know we had a discussion at halftime over I do feel that Miller can tackle winter ball and you know hot people at the same table is all done baby robots with a header Dominical no Ferguson this is Heather is collected by bet then the pressure by Ferguson that's why I couldn't reach we can fifteen minutes left there's the score line and lots of people thought there was likely to be very few goals in the mites this afternoon something to quality other to defenses but we've enjoyed four goals so far and we'll bone to see the ball hit the net again before the afternoon is over husband going forward here's David Cooper blocked by McLeish Joel Miller running up respect back to coverage one [Applause] an impact in the right flank in last 15 minutes or so Athena medicine for tickets which gives you have to straight the hand the trip up an intentional shows repartee Valentine as Ferguson comes forward flushing John shoe at good posture to rant good running again by McCoist and be alert defending by Alec McLeish who played the ball against McCoist for the goal kick that was top class sent a half showing his experience reading that run from McCoy swell because it has the edge in pace on the said aha [Music] we've kept McCoist quiet in the last 20 minutes till Ellen and the game you know McCoy's was causing all sorts of problems for between them Madeline McLeish r75 this wine vinegar [Applause] Gregor wins a formula trip well I think we'll have a free kick for the challenge the high challenge by Stewart McKinney on the touchline Ghilas he goes back flight response pace going in behind McKinney well blocks by the pool bike good tackle by McKinney but at the expense this time from the corner kick the Rangers signal for Gough and Roberts to make their way into the box dog in particular and known for his prowess and his set pieces and a bit of pushing by Richard offer they came forward no complaint from the Rangers number six not too bad when your captain is suspended you can replace him with one Ballantine's still very much in command on this match turn off the head of Goff Ferguson Jimmy Nicole listen again Durant finding space is high off the balls they're arriving in the gun fall with his bet trying to send a few Thor where could he is challenging grim Roberts Roberts thought he was fouled by Hewitt we'll just our possession and in the event on the right and to rent again there's a plea of making it one into space lot of time in the second half filled your microphone inside and looking for it's for Appeals blessed again for Rangers and Durant was slow coming back he was upside [Applause] what the ring with delivery but he was certainly stranded a bit when that pass came forward from McGregor well a penalty appeal the Aryan said yes it looked a course one didn't know you know but this is the thing about Durant you know he's he's so willing to get himself forward get in the box commit defenders and and that one it was again willing Malone involved he turned inside him I and that actually looked like a penalty kick I look to me as if it was Faulkner South in on that angle it looked to be a fair claim from Rangers but it cornered rather I think it was cornered ago yes yes cooker again running into trouble a strong tackle Nicholas he has dedicated machining chance still Ferguson trying to adjust the ball for a shot at goal and there's McLeish heading clear Cooper is from trouble on the ground and will certainly want him back in the play he's in a very important factor in the second half Durant corner it's a good tackle this time a crisp tackle from Connor Ethan we have picks up the loose ball as head click to golf isn't anchored by Nicholas Hewitt looks for the boy he appeared to be unfairly by Ferguson but deputy on the spot mostly to go on and is back with Walker robots directing traffic so there may be a substitution for Rangers I think some activity there although for the planted it means well wrapped up as Tim Latham comes off his line to cut off the wall through the middle so nine minutes of the 90 left foot play Rangers to Aberdeen two and extra time staring us in the face at the moment there's milord breaks on the right again for Everdene coming inside Monroe running straight into Richard garvik still chillin mckimie stepping away from Cooper Phil Miller back to bet [Music] [Applause] [Laughter] [Music] it seems like it was Noah that ganna set up for a look at night head out from Willie Faulkner what a delightful Gaul by Aberdeen there's some terrific football John Malone ball and a gimmick enemy involved and a lovely bought at the end of the day wasn't it by their beautiful plated ball and a great error again as price goes up cup final joining this afternoon hold on I think the old melon did so well for that bottled so long using this when this determination boy somebody fits away by Nicholas the world via change made by Rangers that want to make a substitution and it's Trevor Francis who is going to come on he will be placed Derrick Ferguson has played the bulk of the second half with this problem see fans I think white on the right with tuple on the left strangers thrown everything into attack in the closing stages of cosmetic Ferguson Francis goes on what a tremendous background he has an international European John was what mistake about that decision possibly dumela was clear on the right actually they'd switch the ball in half dropped back and Richard golf has now gone to join Ally McCoist last weekend liu yuxi of red and white of course never did ponds have been a little bit quiet because always the Rangers were more stones in them but they're singing though they play from cupola super chespin majors cheering up in the middle boiling again to cope with the inevitable Rangers onslaught in the late stages like they were sent to fight beside Robertson learn boost himself forward to the golf playing the straight at once war back defending as nickel returns it love us with the head of the engine [Applause] [Laughter] [Music] rate was grim Roberts a tremendous challenge you look at he must around 15 yards Miller to the bowl it was not talking here there was play it yato what a complaint of thistles a little question right there about offside decision as the helican doing from robots but that equity of new signal and the load the goal first and so each what is scoreline who could have imagined that with such tremendous defenses and view if you may poison inside people skills by McLeish and the rangers have altered their setup once again they've brought Richard got back to center back in joyful mood sent it back again to make the challenge [Laughter] Tim bets to fidgets [Applause] [Applause] this tremendous impertinence I think if you're an avid incarnate arrangers fine at home at the moment you hold on emergency two scans towards the inside lanes ben david r only - right MacLeish still direct that's a good once before [Laughter] in front system few better for the cutscene crossing Joker Francis Timmy did very well indeed without headphones [Laughter] thick German Francis will be a key motto that's the time because you know he's such a good positive aura good service up to McCoist and play go ahead Jimmy nickel in the runt John McGregor there's a limit turning on the ball with MacLeish supported by Cooper his flanks I could turn inside the box header you'd tell me about it ninety minutes have come and gone well into time ah stoppages in normal time with 50 minutes of extra time awaiting us can be a dramatic there's people we're taking on nickel we are going inside your hyper bet and Roy's their nose with McKinney but there goes the final for full time score Rangers three Aberdeen three you won't miss one second of extra time but before that we'll take a short break we'll be right back [Music] [Music] [Music] but if it's all squared after extra-time where you go into a penalty shootout oh can you imagine taking a penalty kick in this situation after 120 minutes of football but I fancy we may see a go or to go in the half hour to come god Rafi Bob Valentine remains very cool in the middle of all this hectic activity as Aberdeen get extra time underway so there was no other change during that pep talk after 90 minutes from either side Trevor Francis on barbaric Ferguson for Rangers and we have Peter we're replacing Neil Simpson for Aberdeen still to come if require that I'll be gone for Rangers and Brian grant forever been he has really fault that he's doff the ball by Roberts musical look in the face of the Rangers captain anticipation on the stadium once again Rangers pull everyone back to defend its pretend Achilles showing his ability with both feet taking this free kick no he's leaving it to Peter wheel that comes in from Willie for thought but he didn't get any real power behind it although he did find a gap in the box that was a definite chance here boy Willie father had a clear head a joke bad marking by Rangers with Tim bet well he have been flawless much has been quite remarkable with both sides enjoying periods on the ascendancy meltem bets throw it security load the ton by robots that's a good tackle at least the one with John Hewitt he's only use the yellow card oneself all in the match which is one good aspect of this occasion that was a like McLeish there was booked but Robert says all right it's never been a data game at all I mean have been contested to the full but never I would say as have been really Oh any nasty inside flesh with the header into midfield bet and week they got together they have been so awful on the match and that was a foul by McGregor none bets just pulling the aberdeen player back because he tried to reach the ball well inevitably the pace has dropped for that fatigue setting in there could be uncharacteristic errors in defense just Joel Miller played such a vital part in the Aberdeen Thunder it's another good crash son Roberts was there ahead of Faulkner a push by John Miller on the in Durant well spotted by a referee Valentine McCoist they're amazingly has not scored the sweet brain just planning that few things before you put a vital part in the first and second goal which Ranger scored in the first half which is opening Cooper's Rangers and then the final pass buddy into that second followed by Fleck quickly to the scene of the action to make certain things don't get out of control maybe late involved Ballantine's courier let's run on the right from the Kimi uses out of the decoy to go inside ran in to see you blue jerseys picking out princess on the rats like mixer running sort of McCoist so does Durant through the middle and it's Jimmy nickle who comes on the back shot pass intended for Fleck supporting player is Francis get off Peter we're but an easy one for Jim Layton in the end first period of extra time but took off and lunch is the ball away screams it from Miller miss Frances twisting away from Robert Connor he still hasn't shaken off the full-back though where's Fletch holding it up from Willie Miller Francis again that's from the guy go there dummy tries to get the ball through the McCoist Nicholas Hewitt with a tough pass for Jim bet to receive that one time John Hewitt Rangers again enjoying a good spell and attack restaurant nickel Francis wrote Spain look up to rant from features fans to watch his back but it's still jumbled that a wins possession we can break it inside by strip and rather fall back it doesn't want to be beaten on the outside full by play forcing relevant the congested area in the middle was more positive here's Durant Tim bet going all the way through here's the heist from rangers inspired by to rants running car but couldn't get to him but in that passed through the cart my voice printing clear and stealing English short white well you'd a taken bets at McCoy's hard to score there are beautifully weighted pass wider are now they are you know it could have done two or three things possibly the best thing would have been to go round the goalkeeper because they look to me as I've Leighton have come out and said I've gone down but what a chance that was evidence survived Granger's coming forward again with David Cooper trying to get away from McKinney he's so close for the action he's really cannot be challenged for livid verdict the office Malone oh the tackle was by Monroe we could that's been given although we're certainly going nowhere then he was dragging the ball to play in any event but the South knee was fun give me with a free cap l1 by Gauss Nicholas yes Peter we are - phew it needs all his pieces robots comes across we claim that well the Rangers captain yeah the legs of nickel he was followed all right it's what they call a nutmeg keep playing it through defenders legs free kick to Aberdeen these set pieces and window box he's joining really fought not far Aberdeen swing out that it goes up and they got this hit to the ball once again Wally Faulkner definitely a menacing figure inside the opposing penalty box certainly at all ladders yeah I mean he's not particularly but on e you would say you started fellow you sent me at all like and it looks a very useful for girls McLeish his pass is picked up by booty Koopa like to run smooth it on again he's in space still fight [Music] another good opportunity this is Cooper finds flake through the middle to rant me there on through the inside life channel but flake chose to go it alone and that's a good shade from Layton [Music] blending it 2 min ago didn't call for the bull again one in Milan indicating his disagreement with the verdict like cause the player fold and wind it up the free kick the rant to being waived up field to join written Goff Dominika was by McKinney as far as to rent Francis coming inside getting up well Trevor Francis but his head to the ball but it's gone for the gold cake a lot going on for his heading ability Francis having said that remember the goal he scored a European Cup final for Forrest I was there in Malmo 1979 I think was against Marvel was a Munich [Applause] well but Francis takes it up on the right for Rangers it's one for Tim late in the day comfortably I think the goalkeeper of Layton's quality [Music] here's McCoist sand the layoffs to Cooper Nicholas has recovered after digging up a few months ago people are trying to get it in front of Richard golf that's good play from golf so run running into the break of the ball still to run he has Francis on the right still doing all the way himself through the middle and stopped by that superb tackle from William - it from the back [Laughter] to sort things out that's John McGregor who's in serious trouble after the clash with Willie Miller the ball was bouncing as boron went for it I didn't see anything underwater though the challenge well there's not question that John McGregor's in serious trouble is calling or bond yes but it's all about the first tackle by here needs to be a to me to play the ball well it come out defense you've made a very good tackle on the edge of his box and then he continued when Harvard he brought the ball and then he got involved in three tackles in the road but it looks to me as if McGregor's got a pardon when I think would be bringing stretches on from when a player lies like that and he doesn't make a movie voice huh question that John McGregor's in serious trouble and remember he had a very bad knee injury Willie Miller wants to have a debate with some of the ranger Spurs and that really is foolish there's no need at all but him to become involved any father whether or not that booking he feels was unfair he's got to get out of the road and stay away from things Tom MacGregor as I was saying had a very severe knee injury which he sustained when he was unknown from Liverpool he was early game for many months get to me as he was down there that he was clutching his knee again I actually think it may be a Borden damage you know I mean I could well be oh you don't like to say it but I mean it you could well have a broken leg well he's checking this once again here is what it's all about well the ball was certainly there and it was in the air and wandering the challenges me well the two of them challenged for the ball bully Mello went with a straight leg and you know if you try to kick it I look to me as a mcgregor was trying to kick the ball and will he was going to block it and that's when you know serious injuries happened but it's not to say that the both poison have gone in there to hurt each other because they were good for the ball well I thought the both went to the ball we will fit onto the organized things but regardless of all that is unquestionably the saddest sight in football stretcher removing John McGregor from the action man he certainly does appear to be and very clearly our water plane is so the replacement is avi Cohen wearing number 14 I fancy referee Bob Pollin is entering a crucial phase the minds policy is concerned because I feel that the Rangers players think there was some malice in the part of Willie Miller and clearly Willie Miller in particular thinks he was harshly treated well I do think we just think there was intent by Miller but I'm not so sure there's our B Cohen's history very experienced player indeed Heather away was by Konnor no room to go anywhere except back Kimmi playing it through the middle Roberts is the purple Ranger with an accurate header Munroe the first 15 minutes of extra time have come and gone but of course there was that very lengthy delay for keeping the John McGregor so there will be some time to add on this Peter we're back in defense forever been bottling away from Cohen [Music] the long ball from Layton up goes goth to win it cleanly from Faulkner the Rangers don't have to shovel the team around too much because a B chord can play in midfield and easy slotted into the position but don't look they're gonna be playing yes that's the marking role on Jim bet tentative and the question that time that John Hewitt was offside so again the pace seems to drop even further feel the pressure of this Titanic cup while women are the target of Windows support this abuse the involvement and that incident with John McGregor being stretchered off to misunderstanding the class's intent of a flight but McLeish has some time until McCoist arrives to put inside the water Durant's control that I'm going for the split second Cooper has it been Rangers no flecked coming and twisting find a link with McCoist and it was McKinney within a good job therefore McCoist rifle the shot end there was a look to one of the lanes of inferred offside I certainly thought it was offside here the top police have got himself into more safety concern because Gogol resulted in their goals they were sold to end half the first period of extra time it's half time and extra time Ally McCoist she's been working tirelessly up front for NGOs he goes back to school line tells his story Rangers three Aberdeen three 21 minutes Billy Cooper scored from a free kick when he enjoined gave ring to leave before halftime John Hewitt really fault that um the tables and Rangers with two girls but ever did one second half until Robert Fleck got equalizer five minutes from time so here we go with the last 15 minutes of action referee Valentine checks his watch and always strikes me as a great pity but either safety lose and the second period of extra time well you always don't want the game to go to penalties jock in this situation you know you'd rather see someone of the team score a ball like what's McCoist Francis there's Cohen Kim he has done well once again for that buddy in defense he forgot his central defense extremely well still forgive me and gets up well for high balls but one of short stature what do you have you can see the former kick in one occasion it's a fan says he takes it up here to use a hand to control the ball so it's a free-kick goal from Roberts were not County has opened his scoring account this season for Rangers I have a lot of time for dream Roberts you know I'm the man responsible for bigger the money professional football I said I second him as a 16 year old when I was manager at Portsmouth in there I've seen him grow and physique as well as stature in the game I think he's a tremendous player so the high ball is won by Robert sits with Trevor Francis square ball was collected by Cooper good running by Cohen chance the long-range shot for us but they prefers the pastor was flake and that had to be off precision accuracy it wasn't quite so Layton was able to clear it up for a body fish wins it but Everdeen we've had that again by Monroe ignoring that cut to his right I tried to clean up right into the middle to was you know I'm misunderstanding the herb but it's come to no harm the Ranger this coin picks it up Roberts plays it to the right for Francis nickel sets off on a run Francis is the option of Jimmy nickle tried to play it into a gap around the box it came off will he fought back Alice called League Cup final has never before been settled by a penalty kick to say done but we are looking more and more as though that may be the case this afternoon yes Peter we are you bet and the pressure from coupon is former teammate Nikolas looking for Joe Mellon it's to enroll in South goes MacLeish Cohen could have control that I think that mckimie turns it back for Leighton so now let's head flick golf [Music] his play try to control that into the plaintiff McCoist Nicholas John will not appear to be caught by Monroe but the referee saw nothing amiss allow scorn to bring it forward for Rangers here's McCoist dangerous for NGOs playing its squirtle Durant town he was caught on the wrong foot of the ball came inside they couldn't adjust quickly enough to get into the right stride but I shouldn't go you know job for their goals would have been spotless afternoon have been scored in this rate hand goal as we're looking I think the wind is blowing down in the field in that direction that baby some assistance to the team attacking the careless wanted Nikolas on a ladder which allows people to come forward plus is beginning to lose that accuracy no as a players become more and tired it's been a very tough match for both sets of words physically demanding right from the start this pizzeria as a neat touch went out by Durrant Nicholas we've gone through it I think the trouble as it goes inside its robot suppose it for Nicholas comes it back that's a precision class for clever francis the what robots in the middle and the recovery was made by people real getting bike to make the challenge on robots not for the very Peter we're super pass by Cooper Francis playing it insightful robots and a shot deflected wide by wheel Black Keys at full stretch Jim Layton what a tremendous Eve joke wasn't it I mean Robert Fleck just got a nice little flick on you'll see though the back post is cleared as well and there's Gimli and got the touch and then pounced on you know it's a but in time coming forward Portland sets it up for Peter we're on the light from nickel as a superclass and it was Richard Gough initially you get his head to the ball with Sean Miller and really fault that and John Hewitt all waiting took off saved the day therefore Rangers look question about that Nikki walking in the end turning it over the corner so Peter we're lines up the corner kick for Aberdeen again bye Goff and Phyllis returns it well what's not going to wear of course ball as well taken by walking the duck was a very important fact by the Rangers keeper with torn or waiting for Nana golf's initial head of clear when it came back inside from Peter wheel it was rim robots another that way and then it was Nikki walk at catching at cleanly yes Peter we are John Hewitt that asking a lot of McKinney David Triplett excellent chance he's turning it out for the flow Persephone has played very one beef the Rangers this afternoon this is Jim bet normal ah his way away from still enroll but needs help gets it from McKinney and bet this is Nicholas well they fought them nodding it on they get too much on the ball to deflect the thoughts through it fatigue is certainly taking over him I think so but I was just thinking when you were sitting when you said that Cooper had played well I've been difficult to see that planet bodily on the day I think everybody's program miss Frances pleasure men in the field miss David Cooper can he try one from long range Ellis that the left foot [Laughter] for the tackle let off again for a burden for everyone when the ball comes through he's caught offside I've no doubt at all that was up with a penalty kick had he been on side another one of those breathtaking incidents but I mean the game has been packed with him and I don't think I've enjoyed a game so much for a long time it really has been a superb night my another score line shows Rangers 3 Aberdeen 3 well into the second period of extra time like it goes to Jim Layton who may turn out to be absolutely crucial and the penalty shootout and if you walk in and general Layton must be thinking along these lines by now to Munich over the hidden say if you chose but the stage in the match prefers to accept the doll which consists of his fresh lights I could pop to take over the arrangers throne appear to come off Peter Nicholas is : durant was caught as he came inside john Furyk has been penalized inside the final five minutes the chip Goff makes his way forward for Rangers Bobby : let's head up Joe Miller screening it from one roll they sideways from bet once again but Kimmy goes ahead of him that's good play from Aberdeen inside his Miller I think he was lucky there but he certainly was brave too that's prompt I think touching his right leg Jorma loaded a fatal moment losing his footing took well inside - what's McCoist and stretch the leg of all them a lot of cuts off the pass intended footprint normal is in trouble a book question about that I fancy will see an Aberdeen substitution any second Jimmy nickles teaming up on his outside that Francis coming over himself - his first major final in Scotland with Francis could have five minutes was to rent setting it up with a pass way to the right and Francis with one goal in mind to get inside and get a shot on target [Applause] only three minutes left golf calls for the ball too look at the park coming forward again though flake here as McCoys the great chance for the winner [Music] Medina's branches rifles in the shot max misses action right to the end but McCoy's must think he's been the man today who's missed a couple of chances and again that was a chance and you've got to see well done Aberdeen because it crowded the ball there but you only sometimes only get a split second to react to these things and then with Trevor Frances of course got it you blasted it past the left-hand course but McCoist I think has had a couple of little chances to do cause that transcommunity justify their tired legs we have had some impact and things spot the plays at Boggs Hewitt is quite well offside Joe Mellon indeed was also side well penalty kicks are looming this final will be decided on penalties if the the all score line is not changed with a next couple of minutes well Jimmy nickle and the shuttle doesn't have the excuse of tide lights coming on an extra time but and Nicolas together it's bet to possession forever Dean the way to win the match but it keeps possession but Everdeen for the moment one minute left in extra time Rangers 3 Aberdeen 3 neither side snatch a dramatic one out before they are followed by bet on Cooper Durant running into a challenge from Nicolas Rob what's through the long ball forward looking for Francis fondant keeping the ball in play knocked on by we're Durant again like it comes to robots which letting our bones but flake stepped in ahead of him and Francis couldn't reach it we're very relieved indeed to hear the final whistle apart of course from the five who still have to become involved for each side in the penalty kick the Seder or perhaps more than five hears turns youit's but it's too late there goes the whistle to end the match 120 minutes of power action finishing work that score I have Rangers three Aberdeen three no goes to a penalty shootout you'll see it all in a couple of minutes after this top the siting penalty kicks discussion is going on Smith and just any more than the imports of fields that I've been the kickers so we're going into this penalty decided Aberdeen incident they were the first British club ever to become involved in a penalty shootout back in nineteen seventeen European Cup Winners Cup they played one go to Budapest and a penalty shootout and sadly it bought the field they lost that one so it's been that length of time we've had these penalty kick finishes but it's the first time and the League Cup final on this goal we've got it's going to happen of the Rangers fans a toss of the coin decided that and penalty kick will be taken by Rangers and by olymic iced so the boys the regular Rangers penalty taker he scored three out of three so far this season having to remain in the center circle McCoist prepares to take the fatal opening kick against him waiting McCoy's continues his excellent penalty
