Aberdeen fans backed their team in big numbers at Hampden Park on Sunday – and our photographer captured images of the Red Army before and during the Viaplay Cup final against Rangers.

Although the afternoon ultimately ended in a demoralising 1-0 defeat for Barry Robson’s side, here are the best pictures of 19,500-strong Dons support who travelled to Glasgow for the game.

Photographs taken by Darrell Benns/DC Thomson.
