Rangers starting team news vs Aberdeen as Philippe Clement targets Viaplay Cup trophy glory

The Viaplay Cup Final between Rangers and Aberdeen will take place at Hampden, and Philippe Clement has picked his team.

The Light Blues manager is hoping to win his first trophy as manager of Ibrox and extend his

team’s winning streak to 14 games as they take on a Barry Robson team that has struggled recently at the national stadium.

The Dons have already won at Ibrox this season—Michael Beale’s last game

as manager—but the most recent meeting at Pittodrie ended in a draw thanks to a late James Tavernier penalty in added time.

After a historic victory over Real Betis in the Europa League, Rangers are flying high

as they go to Mount Florida. The victory at Seville, a place even Real Madrid had lost a few days before,

guaranteed first place in the section and a direct ticket to the competition’s round of 16.

With Celtic suffering a shocking setback to Hearts, Abdallah Sima, Cyriel Dessers, and Kemar Roofe scored

in an exciting 3-2 victory to maintain the lead at five points, but more importantly, hand the

Ibrox men two games in hand, they could not be in a better frame of mind heading to Glasgow’s south side.

The Dons picked up a major scalp in Europe dumping Frankfurt at Pittodrie in what is set up to be a thrilling occasion in Mount Florida this afternoon.

Prior to this one, Clement stated: “Playing in the finals and winning trophies always brings excitement and something extra.” Thursday night was a fantastic one, and I’m glad we made history by being the first winners in Spain.

Their action was extraordinary.

“I’ve had both positive and negative situations following a historical evening; if your perspective is off,

you could lose in an unwise manner. With the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Andriy Shevchenko, Paolo Maldini, and other elite players, we defeated Milan at Brugge and felt like world champions.

“I talked to the players about it when we lost to the weakest team in Belgium three days later,

but they are prepared for tomorrow. We have to seize the opportunity to write greater history with both hands and feet.
