Michael Beale revealed he told his Rangers players to stop being "anxious" after they again fell behind in their Viaplay Cup semi-final, but turned things around to book a final showdown with Celtic.
The Light Blues will face off against their city neighbours next month, who beat Kilmarnock on Saturday evening to reach a second successive League Cup final after lifting the trophy last year. They had to come from behind after Bojan Miovski gave the Dons a first half lead. But Rangers hit back through former Pittodrie captain Ryan Jack's deflected effort.
They couldn't be separated before the 90 minutes were up, but Jim Goodwin saw his job get harder in extra time when skipper Anthony Stewart was shown a straight red for a wild lunge on Fashion Sakala out on the touchline. And they were punished by their numerically superior opponents when fit-again Kemar Roofe's close range finish gave Beale's side an extra-time lead.
