Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes was thrilled to end the club's 19-year wait for a trophy as they beat Inverness Caley Thistle 4-2 on penalties after a 0-0 draw at Celtic Park.
He said: "We were well aware when we took the job of the need and desperation of getting a trophy again and getting Aberdeen successful.
"It was a tight final. I thought we had the greater opportunities and once it comes down to penalty kicks you've got to back yourselves and take them with confidence - I thought our penalties were different class.
"Thankfully, Jamie Langfield has managed to save one. It's unfortunate for Inverness, who had a good final, but the over-riding thing for us was just to win the game, no matter how we did it."
