Weird week this having a game on Tue and Fri. 
 

Buzzing the breaks over though, I fancy Alfie to carry on his good record up there.

[Blue Viking 702]

Very Important game - they will not give us a easy game and have a feeling it will be a draw tonight.

Please, please Rangers prove me wrong.

[Prso's headband 35,453]

Nerves are absolutely shattered already. 
 

2-0, can’t see us putting in the same defensive performance as last time and we seem to be more attacking. 
 

My only concern is the midfield, hopefully Lundstrum is up for it

[KingKirk 25,647]

For anyone going tonight

Always a big one for us to tick off this.  Nervous, but confident. 

If we can come out of this and a trip to the piggery with our current healthy lead intact, having lost 1 in over 60 league games: i’d make that a hard title to throw away. 

[Essandoh 21,208]

One things for certain, Gerrard’s record against Aberdeen was fucking honking. I don’t have it at hand but someone posted it after the 2-2 game at Ibrox and it was shocking. Gerrard applied a fixed style to every game - and Aberdeen worked it out.

Whereas GVB has shown a very intricate tactical approach to every individual game he’s faced and it’s hard to look at any of his matches so far without some specific ‘tweak’ having been made to suit us on the day. 

Tonight, we have players missing, we have an opponent playing their biggest game of the season, we have a quarter filled ground littered with poisonous cretins at their first game back since the break. It’s massive.

But we do have the spine of our team in McGregor, Goldson, Kamara & Morelos. And we do have the best management staff in the league who have had weeks to prepare for this one with all of the above in mind.

We were considered far less likely to win at Easter Road & Tynecastle. Now, we’re heading to Pittodrie on a domestic run of seven consecutive league wins, scoring 15 and conceding just 1.

Rangers win tonight.

We beat them 4 times last season. An aggregate of 11-1. Just as well they worked us out, or it could have been embarrassing.

[RossS1873 1,656]

Just win. The psychology of going there and winning keeps the  majority of the pressure off us. We know what they are going to do, they don't know what we will do. That's the difference as someone stated between GvB and SG. The break has given the team time to get to grips with the new managers ideas, let's just hope they work out. 2-0 to the champions

I don’t think there’s much controversy in stating that Gerrard’s record against Aberdeen across his tenure was shite

7 wins in 15 games isn’t good enough and you’re not going to convince me it is

I'm not trying to, but Aberdeen never worked anything out.

Including some honking cup results.

3-1 Rangers, Morelos x2 and Kent.

Think gerrard was 0 in 3 in the cups, including that horrible replay at ibrox

[The Specky Forum Organiser 64,697]

Kamara and Lundstram sitting but Lundstram would be the one I'd be giving more license to get forward, it's not where he's played for us but he made his name as a box to box midfielder

[NI 903]

Get the 3 points, 'mon the Rangers.

That sounds more like Gerrard worked them out rather than them coming to terms with us. 

[Assegai 7,857]

Thank fuck we've made it to today.

[Finny 5,483]

I'm feeling confident with this one. Think it will be 3 -0 and hopefully hagi steps up and bacuna gets a run out. He could be like a new signing if he gets a chance to play with his style. 

[esquire8 42,730]

Depleted squad or not, don't think we have much to fear from the sheep. Can only see us winning convincingly by half time and strolling the 2nd half.

Lowry to score the winner?

[Craig/ 393]

Fucking buzzing for this game tonight. Feels like I say it about most our games this season but this feels huge if we can get the 3 points.
