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 47 of the 138 previous games, with the Dons winning just 39.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Pittodrie Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Premier match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been an indifferent run of form for the Dons of late, and things are not going to improve with the visit of Rangers, who one believes will win this game handsomely. Away win
