00:00Steven Robinson has been in the job at Pataudry for just over a week,
00:05and the first job is to repel the magnetic pool of relegation threat
00:10that is trying to drag them in.
00:13Matchday 31 in the William Hill Premiership,
00:16the time of the season when the importance of every result intensifies.
00:23Rangers against Aberdeen at Ibrox Stadium.
00:26A huge 90 minutes in the offing,
00:31with big consequences at both ends of the table,
00:36and it's Mikey Moore with an early opening,
00:38and the shot takes a deflection,
00:39but it's comfortable for Dimitar Mitov in the Aberdeen goal.
00:43Michael Seward alongside me,
00:45and this is a special fixer in Scottish football,
00:49Rangers and Aberdeen, how do you see this one?
00:55one of the most runs.
01:09Chase on there for use of Chirmeetij, but Jack Milne remains in calm.
01:34it's fascinating though isn't it it's whenever one of the three goes first and they get the
01:41result it heaps so much pressure so hearts have done their job rangers now respond if they do
01:46they can then heap all the pressure on celtic who play at dundee united tomorrow
01:59we have mikey moore a bit of a chance to run here at loben who makes a good challenge
02:07to romans he and moore have linked up well down that left hand side for rangers
02:15forming that relationship since the belgian came in in january
02:27fernandez out to the left back romans
02:35nasa giga again picked ahead of john suitor who is on the bench
02:44the dairy will win the throwing
02:55rangers haven't been at their fluid best of late two wins in the last six in the league but that
03:01was a
03:03vital three points to get at the smysa stadium last weekend single goal will do from here on in
03:10anyway there's moore like you said michael they don't need to be at their best it's all about results
03:39the dairy chasing from robin's ball and the dairy does win it from mil
03:47and that's one by chukwani from aremu just his third start for the nigerian
03:59aberdeen colors signed from kaiser sloughton just on the last winter window
04:07james tavernier chermiti coming from deep the dairy looking to link with his striker
04:32moore lofting that one in towards asgard at the back post
04:38moore lofting that one in towards asgard at the back post
04:48is
04:49so
05:50Too short for Romans, too much on it from the skipper.
06:35I was going to bring it up, but he beat me to it.
06:38It only took six and a half minutes.
07:04First touch for Jack Butland.
07:07And the Derry dropping short and able to flick that one on, but here's Dylan Loban.
07:15Back four, meet off.
07:18Raskin forward, but Aremu pops it on to Dennis Geiger.
07:38What do you make of what we've seen at very early stages of course under Steven Robinson.
07:46Interesting that immediately going to a back three with this club.
08:11CHOIR SINGS
08:32That's exactly it, when we talk about the three-weight title fight
08:36also has the same effect happening down the bottom end of the table
08:41with those victories earlier for Kilmarnock and Samirin
08:45really closing things in on Aberdeen, just three points above those two
08:56and the end of the table with those two moments.
09:13James Tavernier and Tour Romans having the conversation.
09:36the choice of the left or the right foot it will be captain tavernier to send it in it was
09:40dangerous
09:41and required the flick of the head from gavin molloy another rangers corner
10:04another chance to take aim for tavernier it's a good one this time and met by termiti
10:12and perhaps he should have done better there
10:17but the left or the left or the right foot it will be the right foot it will be the
10:32right foot it will be the right foot it will be the right foot it will be the right foot
10:35it will be the right foot it will be the right foot it will be the right foot it will
10:37be the right foot it will be the right foot it will be the right foot it will be the
10:37right foot it will be the right foot it will be the right foot it will be the right foot
10:38it will be the right foot it will be the right foot it will be the right foot it will
10:39be the right foot it will be the right foot it will be the right foot it will be the
10:39right foot it will be the right foot it will be the right foot it will be the right foot
10:40it will be the right foot it will be the right foot it will be the right foot it will
10:41be the right foot it will be the right foot it will be the right foot it will be the
10:43right foot it will be the right foot it will be the right foot it will be the right foot
10:44it will be
10:47for Fernandes and the Derry.

12:20.
12:21.
12:21drive into
12:25different look for Aberdeen particularly in the
12:29center of the park Palo Verso making his first start since
12:31October I'm surprised that Olesanya wasn't picked today for you know the
12:37the reasons that was just pointing out there Milalovic is after that one from
12:40Geiger just a little too much on it from the German
13:15it's Chiquani for Tabaniru starts
13:21again with Sterling on the bench
13:27Fernandes for Romans has been extremely impressive since his arrival from Vestalo
13:35it's not the best from Chiquani though and Jamfi can pick up he hasn't started since
13:42these two last Mets up at Pataudry those back-to-back fixtures between the two sides and a couple of
13:492-0 wins for Rangers
14:03and Tabanir looks long Chimiti on the chase and it's straight into the arms of Mitov just as that was
14:11there building up though Rory the communication between Jack Mill and Dylan Loban had to be better there because
14:18Mikey Moore was on the inside of Dylan Loban and Loban was still getting attracted out to the wider position
14:26with Tour Romans as well and had that ball been a bit of better quality
14:30example of it and that stone However Dean Batline was zigzagging all over the shot
14:35looks like an interesting twist of this
14:40looks like an interesting twist of this the formation that Danny Roule seems to put out almost a 4-2
14:45-2-2
14:47Moor and Asgard playing like two 10s.
15:02This is Jiga.
15:07It's back from Asgard, Tavernier with the Norwegian.
15:11He's not been named in the international squad.
15:14This next set of games.
15:17A couple of friendlies for Norway.
15:20Romans to chase this against Milne, who's done well.
15:24And Cermiti.
15:26He's got a clip from Geiger, will be penalised.
15:56But this time it will be Romans to deliver into the box.
15:59Steven Robinson wants his defensive line a lot further out than that.
16:13Romans takes it, good ball in.
16:15And then Asgard with the strike, the block comes.
16:20There was a claim from the midfielder.
16:25Is it Aremu who's gone down on the edge of the box there?
16:33He's holding his chest on his head.
16:47To be fair, it wasn't him.
16:49It's Pala Versa.
16:52He's got his arms, as you would see.
16:58Naturally tucked behind his back, of course.
17:01Yeah.
17:02When you talk about natural positions, that's the most natural of all.
17:08There's nothing there.
17:14It has become a ridiculous situation that that is how defenders have to defend.
17:20Yeah, absolutely.
17:21What's even more ridiculous is when you've got officials trying to come out and justify
17:26ludicrous handballs suggesting that arms are in the wrong position
17:29because, of course, they're not tucked behind their back.
17:33Rangers have called on their fellow Premiership rivals to meet and force a summit
17:39on the refereeing standards in Scotland.
17:41Good.
17:41And I do find it quite incredible that, you know,
17:44Wee Willie Colum talks about having a convention about
17:48let's talk about Dogso, basically saying that we've made a complete mess of it.
17:52Let's try and press the reset button.
17:57Just as Nafiz Aremu receives this further attention, this was where it occurred.
18:09I think it's just when he went to do the overhead kick.
18:13It's just the way he's landed right here.
18:15Yeah.
18:16A little bit of whiplash almost.
18:26Medical staff going through there. Procedure, of course, there were...
18:31The alterations in the dugout.
18:33Steven Robinson getting his backroom staff prepared as Peter Leaven exited.
18:41Confirmed just in the last couple of days.
18:47Hafiz Aremu, he's come off at half-time in both of his previous starts,
18:51but he looks to be ready to come back on.
18:55He's just awaiting the confirmation that now comes from Matthew McDermott.
19:02You can see how deep Nicolas Raskan is there, centre-half splitting really wide,
19:08which then obviously gets Tour Romans on the left and James Tavernier up really high,
19:14but makes sure that there's still that security at the back.
19:19Raskan, Cermiti in behind, one straight ball, Cermiti can only find the side netting.
19:25The flag does stay down.
19:28Well, what an opportunity that is for Rangers number nine.
19:33He looks like an absolute country mile off there.
19:38From that angle.
19:40What a chance, though.
19:42Slaps it with his left foot.
19:46But it'd be very interesting to see the camera angle right along the line,
19:49whether he was onside or not.
19:52He's just highlighting the fact of the importance of getting a good sight of things
19:59rather than from a strange angle.
20:16It'll be an Aberdeen free kick.
20:26Stimitar Mitov will come all the way up to the halfway line.
20:41Mitov takes.
20:43That one is well beyond a lot of Steven Robinson's task over these next coming weeks.
20:50This is about rebuilding confidence and belief in the set of players
20:54that have not had a lot to celebrate all season.
21:07Has had all week four or five training sessions to prepare for this game,
21:14after it was only a couple in the lead-up to that Falkirk game when they got a point at
21:18Pataudry.
21:37Pala Versa couldn't cushion it back and Rangers look to go quickly here, Raskan to it, Asgard.
21:45Tavan here, it's Geiger that closes it down, he's used a hand there but Asgard able to play the advantage
21:50and now Moore with Romans outside him.
21:53Looks to slip it back into the middle.
21:56Well cut out and then Loben for Pala Versa.
22:00Geiger's the furthest player for Aberdeen there and you know,
22:04he'll be absolutely delighted, Pala Versa, that he's managed to get a free kick there because
22:09running down a blind alley here, no real options, just gets clipped there from Tavan here.
22:17Accidental, but it's a free kick, yeah.
22:29Fernandes gets in in front of Bilalovic, Naderi does well to hold off Faremou.
22:36That goes for the return, seeing that all the way was Milne.
22:44It's again another chance for Ryan Naderi and Yusuf Cermiti to continue to build this partnership as the front two
22:50for Rangers.
23:01Tavan here.
23:03It's over the top of Romans, just a few groans and grumbles around Ibrox.
23:08That's what pressure does.
23:21That's what pressure does.
23:23The Carks had to wait late for their winner earlier on today against Dundee.
23:32The Rangers would love to get an early one here.
23:37So far, Aberdeen keeping them out.
23:41It's got to be better there from Jack Millen, he's got to get the ball at his feet and be
23:45balanced in.
23:47You know, instead he just clips it straight out for the throwing and it allows the next attack just to
23:52get going so quickly.
23:54What if I can do?
24:06Drummond's...
24:08Remu heads it away then, and the cross comes in, Cermiti
24:12to cushion that back, and Raskamp loses out,
24:15Pala Versa now racing forward, Jamfie.
24:20The challenge from Tavernier is penalised,
24:24and it looks like it will just be a talking-to for the ranger skipper.
24:30You see the referee, Matthew Dermot, saying he's had two fouls there,
24:34but Tavernier's saying he got the ball.
24:38Maybe perhaps he from this angle here.
24:41No, I'm not sure he does.
24:48Again, Jamfie picking it up.
24:50There was one or two players in front of him, not too many options,
24:56so the drive and run there has worked out well.
24:59Has Mitov gone and done it again?
25:02Overhit.
25:04No chance for those in front of him to make anything of that.
25:10Yeah, and you just feel in a game like this away from home,
25:14moments like that are hugely important for Aberdeen to try and exert a little bit of pressure.
25:18and kicking it long and going straight in for a bye kick is...
25:23you know, you know, that's...
25:24that's really poor.
25:28You've got a huge space to try and drop it into.
25:33Raskar over the top for Moore.
25:36Romans is in there as the centre forward at the moment.
25:39Moore.
25:41Way it goes.
25:43By Morrison.
25:53Now Chukwani.
25:55Chukwani.
25:56Chukwani.
25:56Asghar.
25:57Naderi.
25:57Back for Chukwani.
25:59Again, Robins is in the middle.
26:01So too was Milne.
26:03To get an important header for Aberdeen.
26:07Well, Milne's done well there.
26:08He's just blocked off that near post area.
26:11Got a good head on it.
26:13Chukwani does well.
26:14Checks back.
26:16Just trying to clip it into the middle of the goals there,
26:18but the young Aberdeen centre half's done well to shut it off.
26:30Moments like that when Mikey Moore's checking back inside.
26:32He needs one of those front two to just be stepping across that front line
26:36so he can fire the ball to their feet.
26:37Both Naderi and Cermiti are over at the far side of the attack.
26:45You know, if you're that wide man stepping in off the line there,
26:48you need somebody to be able to fire it into their feet and play off.
26:51That's a good read from Milne to get in in front to Moore.
26:56He's looking to get turned.
27:02That's poor.
27:03Really, really poor.
27:05Straight to Chukwani from Milne.
27:09Tavernier spotting the run of Mikey Moore who just flicks that on,
27:13and it will take it away from Tua Romans who was advancing.
27:19It all comes about from poor Aberdeen plate.
27:22Great run from Mikey Moore.
27:23Did you see that again?
27:24Diving right in in front of Dylan Loban and in behind Jack Milne.
27:30Very difficult for the defence to pick up there.
27:34The thing is, had Mikey Moore not actually got the flick on it,
27:38Tua Romans perhaps would have been able to get controlled and got another ball onto the box there.
27:46Steven Robinson who's had moments to celebrate against Rangers in the past.
27:51Last season as St Mirren, the team came here and won.
27:57It was their second victory over Rangers last season.
28:01They also had a previous triumph at Hampden with Motherwell.
28:07League Cup semi-final.
28:13He certainly has a way of making his sides extremely difficult to beat.
28:19That was a bit rash from Jack Milne and he will be yellow carded.
28:26I think you summed it up there perfectly, Rory.
28:28Rash didn't need to do it.
28:33Chigwani touches a little bit heavy,
28:36out his feet a little bit further than he probably wanted,
28:38but Jack Milne no need to go diving in there.
28:41Gets nowhere near the ball and wipes out the Dane in midfield there.
28:54This is Asgard, turns away from Pala Versa.
28:58Goes up a gear.
29:00His pick-out was poor and straight to Geiger.
29:06This is a remote.
29:09Loben, this is a free kick given to Aberdeen.
29:13There's only so often, though, that the Aberdeen midfield
29:16can get away with taking extra touches and getting free kicks.
29:22They need an out ball.
29:24The front two of Nisbet and Bilalovic,
29:27they've got to offer more.
29:31As soon as that ball's landing at midfield,
29:34one of them has got to be stretching that game in behind.
29:37Nisbet's the one that drops short here.
29:40Geiger.
29:45Don't manage to hold on to it for Aremu and Morrison,
29:49who's on loan from the Queen's Park Rangers.
29:54Closing down is Romans, he wants to throw in as well,
29:57but it is going to be for Aberdeen.
30:00Yeah, I mean, look, they're passing the ball around there, Aberdeen,
30:03but really you're looking at it and going,
30:05if Dylan Loben gets control of that ball,
30:07what on earth is he going to be doing with it?
30:09He's running back towards his own goal,
30:12he's got two Romans right up behind him there.
30:15They've got to have a better idea about how to work this ball into the final third.
30:19up for Lawrence.
30:24Goes Malloy.
30:27Palo Versa.
30:29foot in from Rascan.
30:33Moor.
30:40Fernandes.
30:41That's going to be closed down by Geiger.
30:48Fernandes wants options.
30:57It's Tello Asgard.
31:09Raskan forward.
31:10This is out-Romans who again was the most advanced for Rangers.
31:16He seems to be everywhere.
31:18Some energy.
31:19He's got a great engine on him.
31:20He really has.
31:26He's been such a marked improvement for the Rangers side.
31:33It's a big heavy strapping he's got in that fight.
31:39Danny Rule would be desperately hoping that he's able to keep himself fully fit.
31:46He's made a real impact.
31:48About £3 million from Vesterlo.
31:52Part of the Danny Rule revival in January.
31:59There's a lot of money spent.
32:02Rangers really recognising the opportunity.
32:07The title is there for them.
32:09When Danny Rule came in.
32:11It wouldn't have even been thought about.
32:14You know, before touching that round.
32:15Again, there's a perfect example where Aremu has picked up the ball.
32:19The front players are neither looking for the bottom feet or spinning in behind particularly well.
32:25They're just breaking down far too easily for Aberdeen.
32:28Well, interestingly, there was a conversation that went on as Rangers were attacking there between Kevin Nisbet and Afisa Remu.
32:36No wonder.
32:37I mean, whether, you know, there's just miscommunication between the two.
32:43Or whether it's just lack of awareness of where the space is to go and exploit it.
32:51But it needs to be better for Aberdeen.
32:54Asgard out wide for Tavernier.
32:58Now Raskin.
33:04Chikwani.
33:06Fired straight at Milne.
33:09Now there's a chance for Aberdeen.
33:12Plenty of bodies advance for Rangers.
33:15For Aberdeen to perhaps go and break on them.
33:17But, you know, very, very slow in the build-up.
33:22Great play from Dylan Loban there.
33:24Loban's done well.
33:24Then looks to release Bilalovic.
33:26But in charge of that situation.
33:28Emmanuel Fernandes.
33:30I mean, for the life of me, I don't know if Olesanya's carrying a knock or something.
33:34But this game to me looks absolutely tailor-made to have somebody like that.
33:38playing up top.
33:40Lacking service, but you can just break and counter,
33:43play the ball in behind and let him go and use his athleticism.
33:48Of course, a player that Steven Robinson knows well from his time with Samirin.
33:52Good success there to Olesanya.
33:57Good success there to Olesanya.
34:36looking for that crossfield...
34:38diagonal for Romance.
34:40Romance away from Loban.
34:42And the cut-back for Moore.
34:43and then Chuquani
34:50Tochi, Chuquani
34:51steadies himself
34:52and from 18 yards
34:55guides Rangers into
34:57a first half lead
34:58as they continue this chase
35:01in the title race
35:04I've got to say
35:05it's a very good finish
35:07from Chuquani because
35:09it's not the easiest
35:10but it's this one again
35:12to Romans, he's the danger
35:14he does brilliantly to scoop that in his path
35:17and drive at the byline
35:19picks out Moore really well
35:20but this is not an easy one
35:22to guide that when it's coming back
35:25bouncing at him
35:25the great play from Romans
35:27the awareness to pick out Moore
35:29but that finish here from Chuquani
35:32good composure
35:34could easily be mishitting that
35:37but he gets a good contact
35:39guides into the bottom corner
35:41and puts his side 1-0 up here
35:44and puts his side 1-0 up here
35:49the first premiership goal for
35:51Tochi Chuquani
35:54previously scored in the cup
35:55against Queen's Park in round five
35:59Rangers lead ten minutes before half-time
36:03and if Aberdeen are to get anything from this
36:06they will have to do something that they haven't done
36:08in 2026
36:10and that is score an away goal
36:14it's a pretty damning statistic isn't it
36:17eight matches since
36:19Kenan Bilalovic
36:20netted in a defeat at Celtic Park
36:23just before Christmas
36:24you've got to see up until this point they've not looked like scoring here today either
36:32and a really good time for Rangers to score as well
36:35just starting to approach half time
36:37having not troubled Mitov a great deal
36:40but they get themselves 1-0 up
36:43momentum's obviously all behind them as well
36:49Molloy back to Jamfie
36:50Molloy back to Jamfie
36:52will cross
36:53over the top of everyone
36:55and
36:58Dylan Loban loses the race with the ball
37:19there's Milne
37:21back from Loban
37:24Fernandez against Bilalovic
37:27Giga comes in to try and sort it out
37:29but things just cause more of a problem for Rangers
37:32just lacking any real conviction
37:34from Aberdeen that they believe
37:35they're going to do anything there
37:36and it almost comes to something from very little
37:41it's Naderi
37:43and Tavernier
37:45back for the German
37:51Asghar with the outside of the boot
37:53Milne gets his head to it and then there's confusion
37:57Morrison and
37:58Morrison and
37:59Mitov look at one another
38:01and plead their case
38:04Aberdeen have more defending to do
38:05and it has to be done with more conviction than that
38:08Well it just breeds pure panic in the Aberdeen back line
38:11Mitov comes charging out
38:13getting nowhere near it
38:15then quickly into reverse
38:19as
38:20as Rangers just look to try and exert complete control
38:22in the game
38:24perhaps even try and get their noses further in front
38:26before half time
38:32that's the difference a goal makes
38:33listening to the crowd as well
38:34all of a sudden there's just a
38:37a good feeling going around
38:39a good feeling going around
38:44Rangers having won their last three outings with Aberdeen
38:48without conceding a goal
38:50mentioned the
38:52pair of 2-0 victories earlier on in the season
38:55that's with a 4-0 win at the end of last season
38:58that's with a 4-0 win at the end of last season
39:04that will be Scottish Cup semi-time
39:07semi-final time
39:08on Saturday the 18th and 19th of April
39:12kicking off at Infermline Athletic against Falkirk
39:16it's from 12.30 and then the Sunday game
39:18at 2 o'clock between Celtic and St Mirren
39:25Tavernier
39:25I think it was fizzing towards goal
39:29just over the top
39:32Yeah, he takes it pretty quickly, doesn't he?
39:34Mikey Moore, it's out his feet
39:36and then
39:38it's comfortably over in the end but
39:41I don't think anybody was expecting
39:42that he was going to get the strike away there
39:46I thought he was maybe going to try and clip it
39:48into the box but
39:51Danny Roll will be delighted
39:53his side looking at going down 1-0 up
39:57for Aberdeen and Steven Robinson
39:58they've got
40:00a lot of improving to do
40:02if they've got any way of working their way back in
40:04It's Tello Asgard
40:07Chikwani alongside him
40:08from the Rangers goalscorer
40:09Roman's getting forward to join in
40:16Raskan
40:18now Fernandes
40:23Bilalovic looks absolutely bust already
40:33Raskan keeps it alive for Fernandes
40:35and now Chikwani
40:41Steven Robinson bouncing about on the touchline
40:44he's not happy with what he's seeing from his team
40:55Mikey Moore now
40:56great footwork
40:57Moore
40:58sliding in was Malloy
41:00and that was vital
41:02again there's no out ball for Aberdeen
41:05they feel suffocated in there
41:08great footwork from Moore
41:10what a block that is from Gavin Malloy
41:13looks as if Moore was just going to be opening up and guiding that into the far corner
41:19the Irishman comes sliding across with a vital block
41:23but you're right on it
41:25right now Aberdeen do feel suffocated
41:30the intensity's just ratcheted up from Rangers here
41:35they'll have a free kick
41:36as Chikwani hits the deck
41:41they're not hanging about
41:42Rangers sensing
41:44momentum is in their favour
41:48Chikwani
41:48I think Asgard had given up on that for a moment
41:51wasn't aware it was coming in
41:55Tavernier
42:02captain takes over from Raskan
42:05Asgard
42:10Palo Verza able to get a touch
42:12but it's all too brief for the Dons
42:15Asgard now
42:16Tavernier
42:17with power
42:18still alive for Mikey Moore
42:21Aberdeen can barely get a touch right now
42:23Rangers sensing the
42:26the chance for a second
42:27that by the looks of the way this game is going
42:31two would probably kill off Aberdeen
42:33Chermitian
42:34jam feet away
42:36that's a loose touch from Fernandes
42:38and now they have four forward in this break
42:40it's Geiger
42:41Bilalovic wants it early
42:43and he just pulled out of the run
42:45as Geiger
42:46who is the last man back for Rangers
42:51saves the day
42:52as Aberdeen look dangerous for the first time
42:54on the break
42:56Well it really does look as if Rangers are desperately
42:58trying to kill this game off before half time
43:00and you can understand why
43:02but for the first time as you said
43:04quite rightly
43:06Aberdeen looking like they're potentially about to go and punish Rangers
43:10Raskan
43:11looking to target that area where
43:14Chermity had pulled out to the left
43:15and he knew any flick would get Romans in
43:19Geiger
43:19challenging with Raskan
43:21it will now settle for Palo Versa
43:24Danny Rule
43:25demanding that players
43:27retreat
43:30Bilalovic was
43:31at the back of the Rangers defence
43:33and if he just pulls away
43:36he's in acres of space
43:38the first
43:39jumpy
43:39it's Fernandes
43:41to head that away
43:46well you can see here
43:47Fernandes with a heavy touch
43:49caught out of position
43:50Aberdeen have got plenty bodies forward
43:52Geiger's just got to keep going
43:53he's got to keep running
43:55he's trying to play that
43:56in an angle that isn't there
43:58he's got to drive forward
43:59and start to try and commit
44:01Giga the last man
44:02get that 2v1
44:04he's trying to slide the ball in an angle that just isn't there
44:08he's flicked on at the front post
44:10and out comes Sputland to make a safe claim
44:2430 points between these two sides
44:27Rangers with exactly double the points tally that Aberdeen have
44:37there
44:43Moore showing for it
44:46need to spin into space
44:51now Chikwani
44:53Rasko
44:58Moore who started this move off
45:01just got the brief touch from Loban
45:03and that took it away from Romans
45:07well Danny Rome's not happy with that
45:11down in front
45:16but it just
45:18there's another example of
45:21Aberdeen the ball drops
45:22in and around the edge of the box
45:23they've got no ability
45:25to be able to break and get out
45:27away from that initial pressure
45:30and Rangers
45:32they've given away a free kick there but
45:34could easily just be winning the ball back on the edge of the box
45:37and looking to
45:39get another attack going
45:43it's a push from Emmanuel Jampy
45:53fairly blatant
45:54I mean
45:56how he thinks he's going to get away with that
46:07Midway through the
46:08two additional minutes at the end of this first half
46:10Moore carrying the ball
46:15the ball
46:16Roman's done well to dig that out for Chermity
46:20and
46:21Fernandes
46:22just
46:23has the strength to
46:26slap
46:27Bilalovic away
46:39Fernandes
46:40Moore had managed to free himself up if he can keep it in play
46:44not quite
46:46it
46:47looks as if he kept himself on
46:48I think it was Morrison in the middle
46:51that was playing him onside
46:55well
46:56also Jack Mellon as well but
46:57onside
47:00perfect line
47:01perfect angle to see
47:03right along the 18-yard line there
47:14there's the half-time whistle
47:17Rangers
47:19dominant
47:20and being rewarded with a strike from Tochi Chukwani
47:24ten minutes before the break
47:26his second goal for the club
47:28Rangers
47:29looking to respond to Hart's earlier
47:321-0 victory over Dundee
47:34at the break at Ibrox Stadium
47:35it's Rangers 1
47:36Aberdeen
47:370
