Rangers
- With 35 points from 19 matches, Rangers sit third in the Premiership 2025/2026 table.
- The Gers are on a run of three wins in five (L2) after consecutive victories at home to Motherwell (1-0) and Saint Mirren (2-1) in the league.
- Danny Roehl, who took charge in October 2025, has instilled a flexible 3 - 4 - 2 - 1 or 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 system on his team who are able to play vertical passes quickly, overload wing-back areas and transition rapidly.
- James Tavernier is Rangers’ top scorer with four goals in 19 Premiership appearances but is a threat from the back, as well as set-piece situations.
Aberdeen
- Aberdeen are a distant seventh with 25 points from the same number of games.
- Aberdeen prefer to press high in a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 or 4 - 3 - 3 system, win the ball in midfield and attack with pace and accuracy on the counter-attack.
- Jimmy Thelin, who joined the club in June 2024, has had a positive effect on Dons performances with his high-pressing system, but Jesper Karlsson has only five goals in 15 games to be their top scorer in the current campaign.
- He has been outshone recently by Kenan Bilalovic, who has scored two of their four goals in the last five, so he will be the primary outlet on Tuesday.
