How to watch Rangers v Aberdeen

Rangers will have a rare opportunity to eat into Celtic’s sizeable lead at the top of the William Premiership when they host Aberdeen on Wednesday.

Brendan Rodgers’ league leaders were held to a 3-3 draw by Dundee on Tuesday handing Rangers the chance to close the gap to 13 points if they defeat the Dons at Ibrox.

Rangers manager Philippe Clement remains under intense pressure but insists he will not quit after a section of fans staged a walkout protest during the 3-1 victory over St Johnstone on Sunday.

There is also scrutiny on Aberdeen boss Jimmy Thelin as he looks to address an alarming slump in form that is threatening to undo all the good work of the opening months of the season.

The last time the sides met at Pittodrie on October 30, a 2-1 victory sent Thelin’s men nine points clear of Rangers in second place. The Dons are now fourth, 11 points behind the Ibrox side, following an 11-match winless run that has yielded just three points from a possible 33.
