Aberdeen prepare to entertain Rangers at Pittodrie Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 46 of the 132 previous games, with the Dons winning just 37.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pittodrie Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2006, with Aberdeen running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
