Muff 245 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Rangers are the current holders of the League Cup, having beaten Dundee United on penalties after a 2-2 draw 12 months ago. Rangers have not lost a League Cup final since going down 2-1 to Aberdeen in 1989/90. Rangers have won the League Cup on 25 occasions. Celtic have lifted the trophy 13 times. The last Old Firm League Cup final was in 2002/03 when Rangers won 2-1. This is the first Old Firm final as manager for both Walter Smith and Gordon Strachan. Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist hit a hat-trick when the Light Blues beat Celtic 3-2 in the League Cup final of 1983/84, a year after Celtic had won 2-1 against their rivals. Rangers won the very first League Cup final, beating Aberdeen 4-0 in 1946/47. Rangers have lost only six League Cup finals but one was a 7-1 defeat to Celtic in 1957/58. Rangers became the first team to win the League Cup on penalties after a 3-3 draw with Aberdeen in 1987/88. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
