Aberdeen FC

vs

Glasgow Rangers FC

Preview

Aberdeen (home)

• Aberdeen are winless in 5, losing four and drawing one.
• Aberdeen’s home record in the 2025/2026 season is W3, D4, L3 with an average of 1.30 goals scored and 1.10 conceded.
• Jimmy Thelin has done a decent job since stepping up to the Dons’ head coach role in June 2024.
• He has switched between a compact 3-4-2-1 and a more open 4-2-3-1 system.
• The visitors’ solidity and ability to adapt will probably mean the home side’s attacking options are starved of service on Sunday.

• Rangers are second in the Premiership with 41 points from 21 games, 16 more than Aberdeen in eighth.

• He has quickly implemented a high‑intensity, flexible 4-2-3-1 system that has delivered immediate results.
• Rangers beat Celtic 3-1 away and beat Aberdeen 2-0 in midweek.
