Aberdeen vs Rangers

Join Scott Murray for updates from the fourth round of the League Cup and the latest from Scotland.

The 1964, 1997 and 2000 winners are strolling towards the quarter-finals. Right into the top right. Clarkson takes a touch to control a loose ball on the edge of the Rangers D, and whistles a wonderful shot into the bottom right, McGregor given no chance. It’s all over bar the shouting at Molineux. Leicester are the first team into the quarters. Farcical finishing, but Saints survive and go through to the quarters. To the last knockings at Pittodrie, then. The visitors are doing precious little with it. 85 min: Aberdeen seem happy to sit back and let Rangers have the ball. The fans gutted. Tilman worms his way down the right and dinks to the far stick. What an astonishing end to the match!

Aberdeen boss Jim Goodwin came in for widespread criticism following his side's defensive display in the 1-0 home defeat by Celtic on Saturday and his side ...

It was a mistake for the equaliser but in fairness the goalkeeper has been immense, not just tonight but throughout the course of the season. I thought we deserved not only to take something from the game but deserved to win the game. He was very unlucky, the ball takes a bounce just in front of him and he can't make it stick. The boys were excellent for the majority of the game. "At 2-2 we should see the game [out]. I thought we played with real intensity, there was a real fight there tonight. We scored a couple of cracking goals. I'm delighted for him because it's harsh on Scotty not to have started in either of the two games. Away here is a difficult game, and I felt they stuck together and got over the line. We go into every game trying to win it. Aberdeen came out for the second half fired up and soon went ahead. Then came the equaliser, after Gers defender James Sands was booked by referee Willie Collum for a foul on Aberdeen striker Bojan Miovski 20 yards from goal.

Rangers never did. They were a goal ahead early through Fashion Sakala and then suckered by two brilliant goals from Luis “Duk” Lopes and Leighton Clarkson.

They were almost there, and then it all Rangers were down and seemingly out only for a festive resurrection, scoring five and then seven minutes into injury time to leave Aberdeen sickened. They were a goal ahead early through Fashion Sakala and then suckered by two brilliant goals from Luis “Duk” Lopes and Leighton Clarkson.

Flashpoints aplenty in the Granite City but is there a shift in the VAR threshold on handballs after the winter break?

The other big takeaway from punters in the wake of the Pittodrie clash is the lack of angles on display. VAR – as it did in England and other countries when first introduced – settled and became less of a focal point. We'll lean on IFAB's much discussed rules on what is handball and they state: "It is an offence if a player: deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball." However, the angle shown to viewers again offered no definitive verdict and those making the call remotely felt comfortable Goldson didn't handle it and tee up his team-mate. The call was crucial as it minutes after Clarkson's stunning strike at the other end. An early shout in the Granite City as Tavernier's contact from a teasing Aberdeen cross ended up crashing off the post and out for a corner.

[BBC](https://www.thenational.scot/news/media-and-the-bbc/) Radio Scotland late last night, you'd have been forgiven for thinking it was actually Aberdeen who had won the encounter. The ex-Canada international struck on the 95th and 97th minutes in the north east to secure a 3-2 win for Michael Beale's men.
