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 82 and lost only 25 of the 136 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ibrox Stadium was less than a year ago, in May 2009, the The Gers carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
