May 21 1983
Scottish Cup Final
Aberdeen 1 (Black 116), Rangers 0
Aberdeen: Leighton, Rougvie (Watson), McMaster, Cooper, McLeish, Miller, Strachan, Simpson, McGhee, Black, Weir (Hewitt)
Rangers: McCloy, Dawson, McClelland, McPherson, Paterson, Bett, Cooper (Davies), McKinnon, Clark, Russell, McDonald (Dalziel)
Aberdeen field the same 11 as beat Real Madrid. Rangers enjoyed the better moments in a lacklustre 90 minutes. Four minutes from the end of extra-time Paterson deflected McGhee's cross into the air, and Eric Black nodded into an open goal. Fergie criticised his team, then apologised.
