Rangers vs Aberdeen LIVE as James Tavernier is buzzing on his Ibrox return

Outside of the Old Firm derby, there’s no fixture quite as explosive in Scottish football as this one.

In the blue corner stands Rangers, a side seemingly lurching from one crisis to the next. In the red corner stands Aberdeen, a team whose form has nosedived faster than anything seen on Top Gun.

After Celtic spilled a couple of points at Dundee on Tuesday night, Philippe Clement will be desperate to claw back some ground on their city rivals. Jimmy Thelin, meanwhile, will be just as keen on grabbing his first win in a stretch that has lasted an incredible 11 matches.

Will this be the night the rot is stopped? Or will Rangers keep up their decent home record that is in sharp contrast to their form on the road?

And another thing, what demonstration with the Union Bears stage? And will it largely be ignored by the rest of the Ibrox support as it was on Sunday.

All these questions and more answered in our LIVE blog!

The teams should be announced in the next 20 minutes.
