Is Rangers vs Aberdeen on TV? Stream details, kick-off time and team news for Scottish Premiership clash

Rangers will aim to keep the pressure on Premiership leaders Celtic when they entertain tenth-placed Aberdeen at Ibrox on Saturday as the season starts to draw to a close.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side ended their run of three straight draws on Wednesday night by grinding out a 1-0 victory over relegation-threatened St Johnstone, thanks to Glen Kamara’s early first-half goal.

It marked the first clean sheet in four games for the Light Blues and importantly kept the defending champions hot on the heels of their Glasgow rivals at the top of the table, with just three points separating the two clubs.

Rangers remain unbeaten on their home patch domestically so far this season and they will be determined to keep that record in tact against a struggling Aberdeen outfit, without a win in their last nine games.

New Dons boss Jim Goodwin is still awaiting his first three points since leaving St Mirren for the North East last month as he aims to steer the club away from the drop zone and into the top-six before the upcoming split.

The Irishman inherited a squad low in confidence and lacking in momentum as they continue to plummet down the division.

Following a trio of draws, Aberdeen went down 2-1 against Hearts at Tynecastle in midweek. However, the stacked nature of the league at present means they can climb up to sixth with a win this weekend, depending on other results.

Rangers have failed to beat tomorrow’s visitors in their previous two encounters this season, providing some much-needed belief for the Dons ahead of this match.
