Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers won 4-2 against Aberdeen in their last outing.

Glasgow Rangers defender Connor Goldson has told the Daily Record that Aberdeen’s decision to put pictures up around the ground of their semi-final win over Steven Gerrard’s side served as motivation on Wednesday evening.

Rangers were beaten in the Betfred Cup semi-final by Aberdeen earlier this season.

And they were served a reminder of that defeat, as Aberdeen posted up pictures around Pittodrie of the victory.

It backfired on the hosts though, as Gerrard spoke about the photos in the dressing room before the game.

And Goldson says that the photos served as added motivation for Rangers to go on and secure the victory.

“They celebrated massively after the semi-final, there were pictures on the wall of this match so this was motivating and gave us a point to prove,” the centre-back said.

“It was noticed, spoke about and gave us motivation before the game.”

Rangers went on to win the entertaining clash 4-2, with both sides having a man sent off during the contest.

Alfredo Molreos scored a brace, with James Tavernier and Jermain Defoe also hitting the back of the net.

Rangers are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Kilmarnock.
