Rangers will face Aberdeen for the second time in just six days as the two sides clash in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday (kick-off: 4.30pm).
Danny Rohl’s side were able to close the gap on league leaders Hearts to three points, and leapfrog rivals Celtic in the process, as they defeated the managerless Dons on Tuesday night at Ibrox, where goals from Emmanuel Fernandez and Nico Raskin handed them a comfortable 2-0 win in Glasgow.
For Aberdeen, the loss was their third consecutive league defeat, and caretaker manager Peter Leven will want to help lift his side this weekend and move them back into the top half of the table. Their recent poor form has them below pre-season expectations in eighth position.
