An extra time League Cup victory over Celtic in 1976–77 and defeats in the Scottish Cup final of 1977–78 and the League Cup final of the following season presaged the 1980s, when Aberdeen won a total of four Scottish Cups – including three in a row between 1982 and 1984 – and two League Cups, the second of which, in 1989, was the third successive final between Aberdeen and Rangers – Aberdeen having lost the first two. This period included the club's first 'double' win in 1983–84, and a double cup win in 1985–86.
