Rangers will entertain Aberdeen at the Ibrox Stadium in the Scottish Premiership on Tuesday.
The hosts have enjoyed a 100% record in all competitions in 2024, keeping three clean sheets in five games. They made it four wins on the spin on Saturday, as goals from Fábio Silva, Rabbi Matondo, and Todd Cantwell helped them defeat Livingston 3-0 at home.
After recording wins in their first two games of the year, the visitors are winless in their last four games, playing out three 1-1 draws. In their previous outing, they held league leaders and reigning champions Celtic to a draw as Nicolas-Gerrit Kühn canceled out Bojan Miovski’s 50th-minute opener.
The hosts can pull level on points with arch-rivals Celtic if they can register a win in this match. A win for the visitors, meanwhile, might help them climb to sixth place in the standings.

Rangers vs Aberdeen Prediction
The Gers have won 12 of their last 13 games across all competitions, with the only loss in that period coming against Celtic in the Premiership in December. They have won their last seven home games in the Premiership, scoring 19 goals while conceding just thrice, and are strong favorites.
They lost 3-1 at home in the league earlier this season, which was their first home loss in the league in this fixture since 2018, and will look to avenge that defeat.
The Dons have just two wins in 2024 thus far, with both coming away from home. They have drawn three of their last four games and will look to improve upon that record. In away games in the Premiership, they have failed to find the back of the net five times while conceding 18 goals and might struggle here.
They have just one win in their last 10 away meetings against the capital club, suffering seven defeats and failing to score seven times in that period, which is a cause for concern.
Considering the current form of the two teams and Rangers’ home advantage, they are expected to eke out a narrow win.
