History of the Rangers v Aberdeen fixture

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 80 and lost only 25 of the 134 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ibrox Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2008, with Rangers running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
