Rangers will take on Aberdeen up next in the Scottish Premiershipat the Ibrox Stadium on Saturday. The hosts have already dropped points at the start of the season and are currently third in the standings, four points behind leaders Celtic. They cannot afford to keep dropping points if they are attempting to catch Celtic at the top.
Rangers have won their last four games and that should give them confidence to overcome a struggling Aberdeen. The visitors started the season with just one win from their first nine matches. They have managed to win their last two games and will be hoping that change of fortune is a sign of things to come.
