2023 Scottish League Cup final (December)

The 2023–24 Scottish League Cup final was an association football match that took place at Hampden Park, Glasgow on 17 December 2023.

It was played between Rangers and Aberdeen, meeting at this stage in the competition for the seventh time.

[2][4] As both clubs participated in European competitions, they both received a bye through the 2023–24 Scottish League Cup group stage.

In a match hampered by poor weather and numerous fouls, Aberdeen offered little offensively but Philippe Clement's Rangers struggled to make the breakthrough; they eventually went ahead in the 76th minute when captain James Tavernier scored after controlling a cross from Borna Barišić from the left with his right foot before firing to the right of the net.

[5] Tavernier's goal was the defender's 14th against Aberdeen (all others coming in the Scottish Premiership),[6] tying him with Ally McCoist and Derek Johnstone as the all-time top scorer in the fixture.
