Rangers
LDDLDD 📉
Rangers enter this match following a 1-1 Premiership draw vs Celtic.
In that game, Rangers managed 40% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer for Rangers was Cyriel Dessers (44'). On the other side, Celtic had 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Adam Idah (57') scored for Celtic.
It’s been all too rare in recent games where Rangers haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Rangers have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 9 goals along the way. That kind of pattern might not be continued into this next game, however.
Their past results show that Rangers:
- haven't been beaten in the league by Aberdeen in their last 2 games.
- haven’t won at home in the past 4 league games. Things will have to change soon.

Team News: Rangers
Regarding absentees, there’s just a single fitness concern for the Rangers gaffer Barry Ferguson to contend with due to a largely intact squad. Neraysho Kasanwirjo (Knee injury) won’t play.
In all likelihood, The Gers may well line up in a 4-2-3-1 system for this game, utilising Liam Kelly, James Tavernier, John Souttar, Leon Balogun, Jefte, Nicolas Raskin, Connor Barron, Vaclav Cerny, Mohamed Diomande, Nedim Bajrami and Cyriel Dessers.
