Former Aberdeen star reacts to Rangers loss.

Rangers fans are seen during the Scottish Cup Quarter final match between Rangers and Hamilton Academical at Ibrox Stadium on March 4, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Aberdeen legend Willie Miller has criticised Rangers after the Scottish League Cup semi-final.

Rangers lost 1-0 thanks to a late goal from Lewis Ferguson.

Aberdeen set up a final against Celtic, denying Rangers another crack at their rivals.

The lack of a cutting edge was crucial for the Gers and Miller was highly critical of their wastefulness.

He told BBC Sport: “Rangers got into some magnificent areas, in behind Aberdeen, into little pockets, on the goal line, and every time they had the decision to make it was the wrong decision or they played the ball in with a poor quality of cross.

“Rangers got what they deserved, they are the forgotten team.”

Steven Gerrard’s side were without their two top choice strikers, Alfredo Morelos (suspended) and Kyle Lafferty (cup-tied).

Even so, more was expected from a side which knew this was the situation for weeks heading into the game.

Rangers are back to the drawing board and the importance of their top two forwards was badly exposed, with third choice Umar Sadiq looking desperately short of quality.

The two teams meet in the league at Ibrox on December 5.
