Bookmaker:
Aberdeen and Rangers will face each other in the Scottish Premiership this week. The match between the Dons and the Gers will be held at the Pittodrie Stadium and is scheduled to kick off at 8pm UK time on Tuesday evening.
Aberdeen
Aberdeen are one of the biggest clubs in Scotland and have been much successful of late. The Dons ended up second in the Scottish Premiership table for four successive seasons from 2014-15 to 2017-18 before dropping down to fourth in the standings from 2018-19 to 2020-21. However, Aberdeen struggled last season and finished as low as 10th in the Scottish Premiership table, just five points above 11th-placed St. Johnstone.

England will face Australia in a friendly at Sunderland s Stadium of Light on May 27 as they warm up for Euro 2016.
Football Federation Australia (FFA) on Friday confirmed the fixture, which will mark the first meeting between the two sides since Australia s 3-1 win at Upton Park in 2003.
Australia coach Ange Postecoglou said: We are excited to have secured this friendly against England as they are preparing for the 2016 European Championships.
We have stated that we want to continue progressing as a football nation so we can challenge the best teams in the world and England was strong in qualifying for the Euros.
This is another opportunity for the players to step up against a big football nation and show that our journey to make an impact on world foo…
Watford striker Troy Deeney could be a surprise inclusion at Euro 2016 after revealing he has been in discussions about representing the country.
Northern Ireland have previously explored the possibility of picking Deeney, given his great grandfather hails from the country, but FIFA rules state that a player must have a parent or grandparent from the nation they wish to play for to be eligible.
However, the door is seemingly still open for the in-form Watford forward, who has scored nine goals in 29 league games for his club this season.
Yes, we are just confirming the Northern Ireland thing at the moment, he told Soccer AM.

Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min have set a new Premier League record after combining for Tottenham s final goal in their 4-0 rout of Leeds United.
Having scored Spurs third in the first half, Kane dropped an exquisite pass over the top of Leeds floundering defence in the 85th minute, with Son racing through before finishing coolly.
It was the 37th time that the Spurs duo have directly combined for a Premier League goal since Son s move from Bayer Leverkusen in August 2015.
That surpassed the long-standing English top-flight record set by Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba during their time together at Chelsea.

Fermin Lopez was proud of how Spain managed a difficult Olympic Games semi-final against Morocco as they came from behind to beat them 2-1.
Soufiane Rahimi had given Morocco the lead from the penalty spot in the first half, but an inspired second-half performance from Fermin saw him score before assisting Juanlu Sanchez to earn the victory.
In the process, he became the youngest player (21 years and 86 days) to both score and assist in a men s Olympic tournament knockout match since Neymar against Honduras in 2012.
La Roja are into the Olympics final for the second consecutive tournament, having claimed the silver medal in Tokyo after a 2-1 defeat to Brazil in the final.
And Fermin believes Spain deserved to reach the showpiece after their resilient perfo…
Spain will face either European champions England or co-hosts Australia in Sunday’s World Cup final after a dramatic 2-1 victory in their last-four showdown with Sweden.
Jorge Vilda’s side, who had never won a knockout game at the tournament before their arrival in Australia and New Zealand, could be just 90 minutes away from lifting the biggest prize of all.
Here, the PA news agency takes a closer look at a team which have perhaps already-exceeded even their own expectations.
Coach
Vilda learned his football at the feet of his father Angel, who worked as a physical trainer for – among others – Luis Aragones at Atletico Madrid, Johan Cruyff at Barcelona and Jupp Heynckes at Real Madrid. A physical education graduate, the 42-year-old was appointed boss in…
Leeds boss Sam Allardyce believes his side can take a giant leap towards Premier League safety with victory against Newcastle in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.
Allardyce, appointed by Leeds eight days ago in a last-ditch bid to retain top-flight status, takes charge of his first match at Elland Road for the club, who sit second bottom and two points from safety with three games to go.
The former England manager said: “The biggest thing that can happen is not lose. If we got three points I’d be 40 or 50 per cent thinking we could stay safe.
“We still have to win some games. We won’t stay up on 30 points. If we get nine points we’ll stay up, if we get six we might stay up. I want to be still in it when we play Tottenham (on the final day).”

Opening their European qualifying marker with a major statement on Friday night, France cruised their way to a 4-0 romp against the Netherlands in Paris.
While Les Bleus might have suffered World Cup final heartbreak out in Qatar over the winter, Didier Deschamps men certainly laid down what could be a crucial marker on home soil.
Opening the scoring after just two minutes as Antoine Griezmann got France off to a flying start, the former European champions really couldn t have wished for a better display here.
Storming their way to a 3-0 half-time lead as Kylian Mbappe and Dayot Upamecano helped Deschamps side make a real statement, it was their new skipper who will certainly steal most of the headlines.
With Mbappe eventually leaving Paris with yet anot…
Arsenal will play five Women’s Super League games at the Emirates Stadium next season and are committed to hosting all Champions League fixtures there should they qualify for the group stage.
Jonas Eidevall’s side have played three WSL fixtures at the stadium this season, setting a new league attendance record when they beat neighbours Tottenham 4-0 before selling over 86,000 tickets across matches against Manchester United and Chelsea.
Five of their Women’s Champions League games were also staged at the Emirates, including the semi-final second-leg sell-out against Wolfsburg, which saw the German side win in extra-time.
Same fixture. 10 years difference.

England manager Gareth Southgate is facing the unwelcome prospect of some potential members of his Euro 2024 squad flying halfway across the world for a post-season friendly.
Tottenham and Newcastle confirmed on Monday evening that they will face each other at Melbourne Cricket Ground on May 22.
Newcastle’s FA Cup exit last weekend opened the door for the Magpies to face Spurs in the friendly, which will see the two clubs jet off for Australia immediately after their final Premier League game of the season on May 19.
