History of the Aberdeen v Glasgow Rangers fixture

Rangers face a trip to Aberdeen at Pittodrie Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. The visitors have won 43 of the 126 previous games, with the hosts winning just 35.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.
