Nana Kasanwirjo insists Rangers ready to rumble against Aberdeen as he shows no fear ahead of daunting Pittodrie trip

Nana Kasanwirjo insists Rangers WILL be up for the fight at Pittodrie as they prepare to go toe-to-toe with Jimmy Thelin’s red-hot Aberdeen.

The Light Blues were made to scrap all the way on Sunday as they ground out victory over St Mirren. The 2-1 triumph against Stephen Robinson’s robust Paisley outfit was by no means a glittering performance.

But Kasanwirjo reckons the grit shown by the Ibrox side will be vital as they look to make it a three-way slug out for the title. Thelin’s dazzling Dons have emerged as this year’s surprise package, matching champions Celtic step for step after starting the Premiership campaign with a nine-game unbeaten run.

Gers have been left trailing after dropping six points adrift of the joint table toppers but Kasanwirjo andCo are aiming to take a chunk out of the Reds’ lead when they travel north on Wednesday night.

Asked if they were ready to go to battle, the determined Dutchman said: "Yeah, of course, every game is a fight — not only Aberdeen, but for example, Sunday’s game was a fight as well. You see, we didn't win that easy. We have to compete every day, every day, every day, training as well.

"Every game is a massive game. Sunday’s game, last Thursday against Steaua Bucharest, Wednesday, then next Sunday again in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final. So we have to compete every day.

"Every week is important. Every game is a big game, every week is a big week, and we need to look day by day, game by game, week by week, and it's about us. Every game is a must win game for us.

"And what I said before, we need to look day by day, game by game, and now we’ve won against St Mirren, and now we go to Aberdeen. So for us, Wednesday is a good game."

The Dons’ only misstep this term came at
