Rangers v Aberdeen Odds & Match Preview

Kick-off: 8pm UK Time, Wednesday 15th January 2025 

 

Rangers are second in the Scottish Premiership standings but with a full sixteen points separating them from league leaders Celtic, the battle for the title is all but over.

 

Country mile

Rangers may enjoy a game-in-hand over Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic but the Hoops are a country mile ahead of Philippe Clement’s side and the reality is that the race for the title is effectively over. Mathematically, the Light Blues can still overhaul Celtic’s huge lead but the likelihood of this happening is extremely slim. Thus far, the Gers have been riddled with inconsistency since the start of the season and their last six outings have returned one defeat, three draws and just two wins. Nevertheless, the visit of Aberdeen gives Rangers an excellent chance to bag another three points, especially since the Dons head into this midweek clash having failed to register a single win in eleven outings.

 

Huge downturn

Indeed, this marks a huge downturn for Aberdeen when compared to their superb start to the campaign, Jimmy Thelin’s troops initially going sixteen games without defeat across competitions with fifteen victories and one stalemate. Their first defeat of the season came against Celtic in the semi-final of the Scottish League Cup when they were demolished to the tune of 6-0 and while they responded with a 4-1 win over Dundee, they have since failed to win any of their subsequent eleven matches with seven defeats and four draws along the way. As a result, the Dons have plummeted from joint-top of the division to fourth in the league standings, a massive 25 points now separating them from the Hoops.

 

Clean sheet

Given the Dons’ dreadful run of results, Rangers are understandably big favourites to secure a maximum points haul at Ibrox this evening and with the visitors struggling to find the back of the net recently, we’ll be siding with the home side to keep a clean sheet into the bargain.

 

Back Rangers to win-to-nil at best odds of 5/4
