How to watch Rangers v Aberdeen
Rangers can move above Celtic into second place and within three points of leaders Hearts with a victory over managerless Aberdeen at Ibrox on Tuesday.
Danny Rohl’s side thrust themselves firmly back into the Scottish Premiership title mix with a 3-1 victory over their Old Firm rivals at Celtic Park on Saturday.

Thelin was dismissed just seven months after lifting the Scottish Cup following a run of of four defeats in five matches which left Aberdeen eighth in the table, 19 points off the top.
