What channel is Aberdeen vs Rangers on? How to watch Scottish Premiership match on TV plus live stream info

The Scottish Premiership title may almost be in Celtic’s hands and the gap between second and third too great to bridge but there is never a meaningless match when Rangers travel to Aberdeen.

The latest instalment in this often ill-tempered fixture takes place this weekend as Michael Beale takes his side back to the North East to face the Dons. The last time they visited Pittodrie it was a memorable affair as Scott Arfiled struck not once but twice in injury time to turn a 2-1 defeat into a 3-2 victory for the visitors just before Christmas.

This weekend’s match will be broadcast live on TV and online. For Rangers supporters who can’t make it to the Granite City, here is how you can watch all the action:

When are Scottish Premiership post split fixtures released?

The SPFL have not confirmed when they will release the post-split fixtures but we do know the dates on which matches will be played. The exact fixtures are expected to be confirmed in the aftermath of Sunday’s match at Pittodrie.

• Round 34 - Weekend of May 6/7

• Round 36 - Weekend of May 20/21
• Round 37 - Weekend of May 23/24
• Round 38 - Weekend of May 27/28

Celtic and Rangers are already guaranteed to finish in the top half, as are Aberdeen after their excellent run of six wins in a row under caretaker boss Barry Robson. Hearts are also as good as guaranteed a place in the top half due to Livingston’s -17 goal difference compared to their +2 meaning the seventh placed Lions could only overtake them 19 goal swing. The other clubs making up the top six this year will be any two of St Mirren, Hibs or Livingston.
