The first piece of silverware on offer in the Scottish football season is set to be decided as Rangers and Aberdeen battle it out in the Viaplay Cup final.

After a trophyless campaign last term, Philippe Clement will have the chance to lift silverware just over two months since he walked through the doors at Ibrox and end the drought.

The Belgian boasts an unbeaten record since taking over from Michael Beale this term - having piled the pressure on Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic and reached the last 16 of the Europa League.

Momentum appears to be building for the Light Blues, but the same can be said for Aberdeen who come off the back of two wins against Hearts and, famously, Eintracht Frankfurt.
