Rangers will aim to keep the pressure on the top two in the Scottish Premiership as they host Aberdeen at Ibrox this Saturday night (kick-off: 5.15pm).
Danny Rohl’s side are currently three points off league leaders Hearts in third, but can temporarily leapfrog Celtic into second with a win this weekend. Martin O’Neill’s men don’t play until 24 hours later, with a trip to Dundee United scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
Rangers’ visitors, Aberdeen, will be hoping to disrupt proceedings at Ibrox and pick up their first league win since January 24. Currently in ninth position, the Dons collected a point with a 1-1 draw against Falkirk last weekend, as newly appointed head coach Stephen Robinson began his Pittodrie reign.
Ahead of the game at Ibrox, The Scotsman has all the latest team news:
