FootyMAD's Aberdeen match preview

History of the Glasgow Rangers v Aberdeen fixture

Rangers prepare to entertain Aberdeen at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Gers are clearly on top, having won 75 and lost only 25 of the 127 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ibrox Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2003, the The Gers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
