Aberdeen troll Rangers with brief statement after Betfred Cup semi-final win

Aberdeen defeated Rangers 1-0 at Hampden yesterday in the second Betfred Cup semi-final of the day, thanks to Lewis Ferguson's 79th-minute winner.

The result was just the Dons’ third win in 17 matches against the Ibrox side, and the club’s Twitter account wasted no time in revelling in the win.

In a message with the hashtags #MondayMotivation and #StandFree, the Pittodrie side had a pop at Steven Gerrard’s men, tweeting: “How are you feeling today Red Army? We are the people, who are heading to the final...”

Rangers fans are known to chant “We are the people” during matches.
