History of the Rangers v Aberdeen fixture

Rangers prepare to entertain Aberdeen at Ibrox Stadium on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Gers are clearly on top, having won 76 and lost only 25 of the 130 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ibrox Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2006, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.
