Rangers head to Pittodrie Stadium this Sunday for another Scottish Premiership clash with Aberdeen, marking their second meeting this week after securing a comfortable midweek home win over the Dons.
Since replacing Russell Martin back in October, Danny Rohl has engineered an extraordinary revival at Ibrox, lifting Rangers from sixth spot—where they’d managed just one victory in eight outings—into serious championship challengers, now trailing table-toppers Hearts by only three points though Rangers played one more match than the leaders.
Following their convincing 2-0 success against Aberdeen, Rohl commended his players’ grit and flexibility, as the Gers build on their recent 3-1 derby conquest against Celtic on January 3 to maintain pressure on the leaders.
Rangers team news
Injuries continue to sideline Bailey Rice, Nedim Bajrami, and Oliver Antman. Derek Cornelius is out as well but is nearing a return. James Tavernier featured from the start last time out after rotation and might start this match as well; Nasser Djiga has rejoined the squad post-Burkina Faso’s AFCON exit.
Set-piece execution remains a cornerstone of Rangers’ approach ahead of Sunday, highlighted by Connor Barron’s pinpoint corners that set up strikes from Emmanuel Fernandez and Nicolas Raskin in the prior game—Fernandez now boasting five goals this season already, who, as a centre back, has established himself as a go-to scorer.
Rangers predicted lineup
Possible Rangers starting XI: Butland; Tavernier, Souttar, Fernandez, Meghoma; Barron, Raskin, Diomande; Gassama, Chermiti, Moore.
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 4:30pm BST on Sunday, 11th January.
