Rangers are set to host Aberdeen on their trip to Ibrox tonight (Wednesday), as Thelin’s men look to get back to winning ways after picking up only 4 points in their last 11 league games.

Rangers are currently sitting second in the league and look to maintain their strong home form this season, with the side yet to lose from home this season. Meanwhile, Aberdeen have picked up all four of their away defeats since late November.

Their previous meeting was a close encounter at Pittodrie, but the Dons would take all three points from Rangers after a Shayden Morris winner late in the match.

A huge game for both sides, Rangers are looking to try and catch Celtic and maintain their form, with their last defeat coming six games ago on Boxing Day v St Mirren. An away win for Aberdeen would not only take them up to third place above newly promoted Dundee United, but give the fans and players a huge boost of morale after going 52 days without a win.
