Aberdeen skipper Russell Anderson was delighted to get his hands on the Scottish League Cup - 14 years after he was in the team that lost at this stage to Celtic.
He said: "It's an incredible feeling - it's been a long time coming. The longer the game went on you just wondered if it would go to penalties. The players have taken some great penalties and I think we deserve it.
"Now we've won one trophy it will give us confidence to finish the season strongly."
Midfielder Barry Robson said: "We've won the game - that's the most important thing, I don't care if it's penalties, I don't care how we play, we've just won the cup.
"It's great, it's brilliant. It's been a long time coming for this club. It's sensational - you can see what it means to the people."
