Mcginn can handle flak
myself and Gaz can take advantage of that,” he said.
“Rangers are coming off the back of a European game on Thursday night as well, so that might go in our favour, too.
“As the game goes to the latter stages, or if it goes to extra-time, hopefully we’ll have the legs to benefit.
“I always believe in any game that me and Gaz – or when Jonny (Hayes) was here – that we have the beating of most full-backs.
“It’s just about getting the opportunity. I’ll always try to get at my full-back and if I can, it’ll help us as a team.”
The final game of Mcginn’s first spell at Aberdeen was their heartbreaking Cup Final defeat to Celtic’s “Invincibles” in 2017. The Northern Irishman thought his chances of adding to the League Cup medal he won with the Dons were done.
But after an ill-fated spell in South Korea, he is back, and determined to help the Dons to glory.
“It’s massive to have the chance to get to another final with Aberdeen,” he said.
“Getting to semi-finals and finals, and winning trophies, that’s what I’m here to do. “Semi-finals are always tough, but whether you win it comfortably or get a lucky break, you’ll take a win at the end of the day.
“That’s the most important thing. “Looking back, losing the final to Celtic in the manner we did, so late on, was a massive disappointment.
“Afterwards, I did feel I was moving on to something else.
“But here it is. I’ve got another opportunity. We’re in the semi-finals again, which is great, and it’s why I came back here – to play in big games.
“It has been a great period in my career at Aberdeen.
“But you want to be coming away with winners’ medals and this is an opportunity to get us into a final.”
