Aberdeen – Rangers

Aberdeen host Rangers in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower reaches of the table, with the Dons sitting tenth on four points after one win, one draw and three defeats and a meagre -5 goal difference (2‑7). Rangers, languishing at the very bottom in 78th place with three points from a single victory and a solitary loss and a neutral 1‑1 tally, will need to turn their fortunes around quickly. The two sides have already met twice this season, each taking a point from the other, so the encounter could swing either way. A win for Aberdeen would cement their modest climb out of the relegation zone, while a Rangers triumph would provide a rare lifeline for the league’s stragglers.
