Rangers come into this match in strong form, having lost only once in their last five games — a narrow 2–1 defeat against league leaders and surprise package Hearts. The other four fixtures all ended in victories, including an impressive away win over Celtic in the latest Old Firm derby.
That result has put Rangers firmly back in the title race, reducing the gap at the top to just six points and increasing motivation levels ahead of this fixture.
Aberdeen, meanwhile, are struggling badly on the road. They have suffered four consecutive away defeats, failing to score in three of those matches. This poor away form contrasts sharply with Rangers’ solid performances at Ibrox, where they remain unbeaten in their last five home games.
Head-to-head history also favors the home side. Rangers have won four of their last five home meetings with Aberdeen, with the only defeat coming back in 2023.
What we say
Rangers to Win
Momentum, home advantage, and Aberdeen’s weak away record all point toward a Rangers victory. While the short three-day turnaround from the previous round may lead to some squad rotation for both sides, Rangers still hold the upper hand to continue their winning run.
Furthermore, Rangers striker Bojan Miovski will face his old club Aberdeen, and he will be motivated to score as any ex-player would be, making him a good second selection here.
