Rangers
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 3-0
Aberdeen
All eyes will be on Ibrox Stadium when Rangers and Aberdeen go head to head in a highly-anticipated Premiership game. The Gers aim to melt Celtic's advantage in the standings and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Dons. The likes of Cantwell, Davis, Dowell, Raskin, and Pereira are sidelined with injuries, but Michael Beale can count on key players for Saturday's clash.
Aberdeen, on the other hand, outplayed Ross County 4-0 at home ground, but given their difficulties on the road, anything but a routine win would be a big surprise. Shayden Morris is sidelined with a hamstring problem, but he should be the only absentee in the away time. Last time out Rangers defeated Aberdeen 1-0 in Glasgow thanks to Todd Cantwell's goal and we predict that history is going to repeat itself, but with a couple of more goals in Aberdeen's net.

Jon McLaughlin is a goalkeeper who plays for Sunderland. The 188-cm-tall shoot-stopper played for non-League sides Harrogate Railway Athletic and Harrogate Town in the past, but in 2008 he joined Bradford City.

Jon McLaughlin made 45 appearances for Burton Albion in both 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 seasons and he has established his self as the team’s first-choice goalkeeper. He was producing scintillating displays for Burton in the 2015/2016 League One campaign and, no doubt, he helped the team secure promotion to the Championship.

However, Aberdeen clinched their first domestic trophy in the 1954/55 season, with the team finishing the process three points clear of Scottish giants Celtic. The club’s biggest success came in the 1982/83 season when they defeated the famous Spanish club Real Madrid 2-1 in the title game.
