Rangers FC will host Aberdeen on Wednesday - Scottish Premiership

Rangers host Aberdeen on Wednesday night at Ibrox in another game week of the Scottish Premiership.

The Gers beat St Mirren 2-1 away from home in their last game. After falling behind in the first five minutes of the game, Rangers responded with two quickfire goals in the first half to turn the game around. The victory at the weekend extended Rangers' unbeaten run in the league to eight games.

Rangers sit at the summit of the Premiership table with 23 points from 10 games. They will be looking to continue their good form with a win over Aberdeen as they target back-to-back league titles.

Aberdeen finally ended a 10-game winless run with a narrow 1-0 victory over Hibernian on Saturday. Christian Ramirez scored the sole goal of the game in a rather dour affair that saw two shots on target from both teams combined.

Aberdeen sit eighth in the league table with 11 points from 10 games. They will be happy to have ended their horrendous run but now face a difficult test from the defending champions, Rangers.
