Aberdeen prepare to entertain Glasgow Rangers at Pittodrie Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 43 of the 126 previous games, with the Dons winning just 35.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pittodrie Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.
