Rangers came from behind to defeat Motherwell 2-1 in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final, setting up a final showdown against Celtic on December 15. The match saw Rangers fans express their frustration at manager Philippe Clement as Motherwell took an early lead, but second-half goals from Cyriel Dessers and Nedim Bajrami secured the comeback. Despite the victory, the performance was deemed unconvincing, with boos echoing from the stands at halftime. Meanwhile, Celtic demonstrated their dominance with a resounding 6-0 victory over Aberdeen in the other semi-final, showcasing their strength ahead of the final.

The atmosphere at Hampden was further heightened by smoke from pyrotechnics, leading to a delayed kickoff.
