DEREK MCINNES has issued a rallying call to Aberdeen fans ahead of their Betfred Cup semi-final with Rangers.

The Dons have only sold around half of their 20,300 allocation.

Pittodrie chiefs had previously demanded a 50/50 split of tickets for the Hampden clash and boss McInnes said: “The fans were excellent at Easter Road and played their part in getting us through the tie.

“We are now in a semi-final, just one step away from reaching another final and you can help make this another memorable occasion for everyone connected with the club.

“The crowd is so important to the players and can be the key difference in a result.

“The club fought hard to get the increased ticket allocation and it would be good to see that rewarded with a strong turnout from our supporters, giving the team their full backing.”
