The defending champions were the Glasgow Rangers , who won the previous year's final which was also played as the Old Firm derby against Celtic . With a 4-0 final victory in this year's final against FC Aberdeen , the Rangers were able to make the double of championship and cup perfect in the 1999/2000 season . In the final, after just three minutes of play, there was a big curiosity that weakened FC Aberdeen throughout the game.
