Glasgow Rangers were once the dominant force in Scottish football and their old firm rivalry with neighbours Celtic was infamous. The Gers went through a financial meltdown, but they are now back battling the Hoops at the top of the SPL.
The two teams are hard to separate at the minute. In fact, Steven Gerrard’s team head into their visit to Aberdeen on Wednesday night level on points with Celtic and just one goal behind by virtue of goal difference.
Aberdeen will hope to dent the visitors title hopes at Pittodrie, though. The Dons are currently third place in the SPL table, trailing the two Glasgow giants by nine points.
Derek McInnes’ side head into this clash in good recent form in the SPL, as they are unbeaten in five league games, having recorded four victories in the process. The Dons have also been relatively prolific in the Scottish top-flight, scoring at least two goals in three of their last four league outings.
Aberdeen have a recent mixed record on home soil at Pittodrie, despite winning their last two home games in the Scottish top-flight.

Rangers have impressed this season under Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard. The Gers have recorded victories in 12 of their 14 league matches this season. A 5-0 win over Hearts in their last league match means that the visitors have won nine of their last ten SPL games.
A key to those recent good results in the Scottish Premier League has been their ability to find the net. Gerrard’s team have now scored at least twice in nine of their last ten league outings.
Rangers are unbeaten in the SPL on their travels this season, recording six wins in their seven away matches.
Forebet predicts that Rangers will record another victory in a high-scoring encounter to keep the pressure on arch-rivals Celtic at the top of the table.
