Rangers player ratings: Kemar Roofe fires Ibrox side into Viaplay Cup final next month after extra-time winner
The Jamaican forward fired home after latching onto fellow substitute Scott Wright’s pass in the latter stages of the contest.
Substitute Kemar Roofe endured a bittersweet evening as the striker stepped off the bench to score what proved to be the decisive goal as Rangers beat Aberdeen 2-1 in extra-time at Hampden Park.
However, the injury-prone Jamaican international went off clutching his arm after landing awkwardly on his right shoulder , with Light Blues boss Michael Beale confirming the player will now undergo an X-ray to assess the damage.
That came after Bojan Miovski’s first-half opener for Aberdeen was ruled out by midfielder Ryan Jack’s deflected strike from the edge of the box against his former club in regulation time.

3. James Tavernier - 6
Had a tough task up against the powerful ‘Duk’ in the first-half. Struck the crossbar with a deflected effort early in the second half.
4. Connor Goldson - 7
Another commanding display from the Englishman. Looked assured on the ball and under pressure.
