Prediction: 2-0
Aberdeen
Buoyed by a midweek win at St. Johnstone, Rangers will look to put an extra pressure on league leaders Celtic when they take on Aberdeen on Matchday 30. The reigning champions did well to return to winning ways on Wednesday evening, but they need to keep on raising their form if they are to defend the title. All Davis, Diallo, Hagi, Helander, Jack, and Ramsey missed the midweek game with injury, but Giovanni van Bronckhorst can count on key players for Saturday’s clash.
The Dons, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Hearts; therefore, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Rangers’s party at Ibrox Stadium. All Considine, Devlin, and Watkins continue to miss out with injuries, speaking of the visiting team. In their last meeting in the Scottish top flight the two teams played out a 1-1 draw.
