Rangers prepare to entertain Aberdeen at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Gers are clearly on top, having won 76 and lost only 25 of the 129 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ibrox Stadium was earlier this season, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Premier match.
