Michael Beale issued Rangers Viaplay Cup warning as Arthur Numan uses Hibs humiliation as motivation

Ibrox legend Arthur Numan has told Michael Beale to go on red alert against Aberdeen on Sunday.

He warned that complacency at Hampden risks a repeat of last season’s Hibs disaster when Rangers were caught cold by the Edinburgh side and dumped out in the Viaplay Cup semi-final. Beale’s men have reached the same stage of this year’s competition but Dutch ace Numan is worried Gers could suffer another upset if they are not up for this weekend’s Dons duel.

He said: “Sunday afternoon is the next step on an important journey and it offers the club an excellent chance of reaching another major final. There is no reason why we shouldn’t win this game and I think we will make it. However, I will not take anything for granted as I remember we lost to Hibs at the same stage last season. The manager must not allow any form of complacency to set in this week in the build-up to the game. We need to earn the right to make it to this final.”
