The first piece of major Scottish domestic silverware is up for grabs this weekend, as bitter rivals Rangers and Aberdeen meet at Hampden Park in the Scottish League Cup final.

It will be about more than just the trophy on Sunday due to the rivalry between the pair, which roared into life in the 1970s and has led to plenty of fiery clashes in the decades since, but there is no doubt that both will be desperate to get their hands on it.

Philippe Clement is searching for his first silverware as Rangers boss, having replaced Michael Beale at the helm in October and not lost any of his first 12 games in charge.

Barry Robson’s position is not quite as secure. With pressure mounting and the Dons languishing near the bottom of the Scottish Premiership due to a recent barren run, the 45-year-old could well have lost his job had they not beaten Hearts at the weekend.

As it is, he remains in charge, and will hope Saturday’s win can be the turning point as he looks to secure Aberdeen’s first trophy in a decade this weekend.
