As if this fixture wasn't tasty enough, Rangers have a major reason to avoid defeat at Pittodrie.
A win for Aberdeen will see Celtic crowned champions of Scotland for a 55th time, equalling the Light Blues' all-time total and claiming a 13th title in 14 years.
It's going to happen, all Barry Ferguson's men can do is delay the inevitable as long as possible.
For Jimmy Thelin's Dins, the battle for third place with Hibs and Dundee United is well and truly on.
A win would see them leapfrog both into the best of the rest position, although whether they stay there depends on how the Hibees fare at home to Dundee in the later kick-off.
The Reds were victorious the last time Rangers visited the North East, coming from behind to win 2-1.
Gers have not been coping well in the league at home recently, so an afternoon away from Ibrox could be just the tonic.
However, there are fewer more difficult places to go that Pittodrie for a Rangers team, and the sold-out ground is set to provide a major test of Ferguson's side, and they've not exactly been acing them on the domestic front in recent weeks.
