Rangers and Aberdeen will battle for three points in a Scottish Premiership matchday 30 fixture on Saturday.
The home side will go into the game on the back of a 1-0 away victory over St. Johnstone on Wednesday. Glen Kamara's third-minute strike helped the capital side leave McDiarmid Park with all three points.
Aberdeen fell to a 2-0 defeat away to Hearts. John Souttar and Stephen Kingsley scored in either half to help their side secure the win.
The defeat left the Dandies in 10th spot, having garnered 32 points from 29 matches. Rangers still sit in second spot, three points behind arch-rivals Celtic in a tight title race at the top.

Rangers vs Aberdeen Prediction
Rangers can hardly afford any slip-ups as they seek to successfully defend their title. In light of this fact, they will relish the visit of Aberdeen, who have vastly struggled throughout the season.
The Dandies, however, still have a shot at making the Championship playoffs and a statement victory in the capital could boost their chances. That is unlikely to happen though and we are backing Rangers to secure a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Rangers 3-0 Aberdeen
