Rangers boss Mark Warburton says that he is "very pleased" with aspects of his side's performance against Celtic in the Scottish League Cup semi-finals.

Rangers manager Mark Warburton has insisted that there were positives for his side to draw from their 1-0 defeat to Celtic in the Scottish League Cup semi-finals.

The former Brentford boss said that he was "very pleased" with aspects of the Gers' game and insinuated that his team was unfortunate to concede a last-ditch goal.

"[I'm] very pleased with many aspects," he told BT Sport. "Unfortunately it went the wrong way. A lot of positives. [The winning goal] is one of those things."

Rangers were put to the sword by an 88th-minute strike from Moussa Dembele, who netted a hat-trick against the Gers when the sides last met in the Scottish Premiership.

Celtic will play Aberdeen in the final, with the Dons having seen off Morton 2-0 in the last four of the competition.
