Aberdeen face a trip to Rangers at Ibrox Stadium on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Dons will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 76 and win only 25 of the 130 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2006, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.
