Rangers make the long journey to the north east to face joint table-toppers Aberdeen for what is sure to be a thrilling Scottish Premiership showdown at Pittodrie on Wednesday night.
The Ibrox side followed up their 4-0 thumping of Romanian champions FCSB in the Europa league by edging part St Mirren 2-1 on Sunday in what was another unconvincing performance from Philippe Clement’s side.
Rather worryingly, the Gers have one just one and scored a solitary goal across their opening four away games, including last weekend’s narrow defeat to Kilmarnock. Defeat would see them fall nine points behind the Dons, who continue to trade blows with Celtic at the top of the table.
