Rangers welcome Aberdeen to Ibrox for a Scottish Premiership matchday seven fixture on Saturday (September 30).
The hosts are coming off comfortable 4-0 home win over Livingston in the Scottish League Cup quarterfinal. Ryan Jack completed the rout in injury time to help his side book a date with Hearts in the last four.
Aberdeen also booked their their spot in the League Cup last four, albeit with a less comfortable 2-1 win at 10-man Ross County. Graeme Shinnie broke the deadlock in the eighth minute before Ester Sokler doubled the lead 10 minutes from time. Kyle Turner reduced arrears from the spot in the 83rd minute but couldn't help thwart Aberdeen booking a semifinal with Hibernian.
The Dons now turn their focus back to the league, where they comfortably dispatched Ross County 4-0 at home in their last outing. Meanwhile, Rangers' last league game was a narrow 1-0 home win over Motherwell.
The win left Michael Beale's side in third spot with 12 points, while Aberdeen are second from bottom with just five points from six games.
