Who will win Rangers vs Aberdeen? Our writers make their predictions for Premier Sports Cup semi final

Rangers face Aberdeen in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final at Hampden on Saturday, with Derek McInnes seeking his first trophy since joining Ibrox.

Rangers will take on Aberdeen in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final at Hampden Park on Saturday. Derek McInnes's Rangers side are looking to claim the first piece of silverware available this season after enduring a trophyless campaign last term, while Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson is under intense pressure following a disastrous start to the Premiership season that has left the Dons just a point above the relegation zone.

Aberdeen have won just two of their last nine league games and suffered a damaging 1-0 home defeat to Falkirk in midweek, heaping pressure on Robinson despite his St Mirren side winning this same trophy last season by beating Celtic in the final. Rangers, meanwhile, have turned a corner after a slow start and are now targeting silverware, though they drew 0-0 at Tynecastle against McInnes's former side in their last outing.

The Record Sport team's predictions are unanimous: Rangers are heavy favourites to progress to the final. While Aberdeen possess the quality and character to compete, their current form and confidence levels have crumbled significantly, and Rangers' attacking threat—particularly their front two—is expected to prove too much for the struggling Dons.
