What channel is Rangers vs Aberdeen on? How to watch Scottish Premiership clash on TV plus live stream and team news

Rangers saw their final chance of clinching silverware this season dashed by rivals Celtic last weekend and Michael Beale’s wounded side head into their first post-split fixture against Aberdeen on the back of a Scottish Cup exit.

The Ibrox side suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to the Hoops in the semi-final at Hampden Park to cap off what has been a very disappointing campaign for the Govan outfit.

Their recent visit to Pittodrie on league duty saw very faint title hopes crushed after goals from Liam Scales and Bojan Miovski downed the Gers in a shock 2-0 defeat to leave them with little to play for and needing to hit the re-set button.

With Celtic having the chance to wrap up the silverware this weekend, Rangers could be forgiven for already having both eyes on the summer as Beale looks to rebuild his squad across all areas of the pitch after promising wholesale changes.

For now though, they must focus on finishing the rest of the season with a flourish and face a difficult test against a resurgent Dons side who have been flying under new permanent manager Barry Robson and are enjoying a seven-match winning streak.

The North East club haven’t won at Ibrox since March 2019 but will fancy their chances of ending that lenghty wait given the current form they find themselves in.

For supporters who can’t make it to the match, here is everything you need to know about how to watch all the action...
