Neil McCann picks out key Rangers call from Michael Beale and delivers 'absolutely burned' verdict

Neil McCann has picked out the 'really big' decision from Michael Beale that played a major role in Rangers reaching the Viaplay Cup Final.

The Light Blues came from behind to secure a return to Hampden and set-up an Old Firm derby showdown with Celtic thanks to strikes from Ryan Jack in normal time and the winner from Kemar Roofe in extra-time. Bojan Miovski had fired Aberdeen ahead after the Dons capitalised on slack defending from Borna Barisic in the first period.

But it was the call to introduce Scott Wright that earned plaudits from McCann as the speedy attacker was put up against Matty Kennedy, who was deployed at full-back for the ten-men Dons following skipper Anthony Stewart's straight red card for a challenge on Fashion Sakala in added-time in the original 90. The BBC pundit believes the former Aberdeen man 'absolutely burned' Kennedy as he hailed the call that played a big part in Rangers' progress to the showpiece next month.
