00:00just making their way out but Aberdeen first back on to the Ibrox Terp and with a couple of changes
00:07as Alexander Jensen has come on for Dylan Loban and
00:14Kenan Bilalovic makes way, Toyosi Olusanya comes on, player who left Sumerran at the end of last
00:23season having scored in the 2-0 victory here for the buddies in February
00:31so knows how to do it on this ground
00:36and it certainly needs a
00:39change of approach and aptitude from Aberdeen in the second half their precious few moments going
00:47forward Rangers in control but when it remains at 1-0
00:54there will still be doubt
00:59Aberdeen have us back underway and Dimitar Mitov will immediately look to send that long
01:08oh Michael you were calling for Toyosi Olusanya to get involved what difference do you think the
01:15two Aberdeen subs will make well Olusanya brings physicality and pace athleticism
01:23which was sorely lacking in the first half you know it's it's not revolutionary it's just basics
01:31you win the ball you go and try and counter on the team that are dominating possession with that pace
01:37that Olusanya can bring
01:40it's Palo Versa up to Nisbet and Olusanya immediately trying to
01:44get in behind it did look like a foul on Fernandes and now the free kick is given it was
01:50somewhat
01:51delayed which Matthew McDermott is now explaining to Nico Rascal well he can explain all he wants you just
01:57blow the whistle I mean look he clatters into the back of Fernandes it's a free kick I don't understand
02:02this why
02:03an attacking player commits a foul so we'll play advantage no it's a free kick just blow your whistle
02:18from Rangers perspective they'll all be about getting that second goal
02:23a lot of chances in that first half there were a couple for Cermiti before they got the goal
02:39you would think a second would likely kill it off of
02:45one three in a row here as well against Aberdeen without conceding so the last
02:51Aberdeen player to score against Rangers is actually Bojan Mijovski who is on the Rangers bench
03:15campy
03:21just that right see even just that simple ball up Olusanya's initially held the ball up he's giving it away
03:29but
03:43and that should be enough to claim the three points and they'll look to go on and score
03:52more from here and put a real confidence boosting performance to add to this 2-0 scoreline
04:02well you do get the feeling that is game setting match right at the start of the second half
04:10mikey moore picking that ball up on that inside left channel that's a wonderful goal
04:16you can see the space for moore here he chops it back inside gets the strike away really early
04:24meet off can't get anywhere near it and i was just saying before the irony is that it actually comes
04:29from the one moment where aberdeen looked like they had an out ball up to alasanya he initially
04:35holds it in but then gifts away possession far too easily
04:41and then rangers are able to count up
04:46and for stephen rompson he's got a lot to ponder here it's 2-0 right at the start of the
04:51second
04:52half struggle to see how they find their way back into it now and the bigger ramifications
04:58for aberdeen are obviously this battle they're in at the bottom
05:02well nisbet at least with a shot but that one well off target
05:08i mean that's a proper opportunity the ball's sitting there perfectly on the edge of the box for
05:17nisbet and he's nowhere near the goal with it
05:27the next game for aberdeen after the international break away against st mirren is an absolute monster game
05:38for so many reasons stephen rompson going back to paisley
05:43st mirren with their tails up with that big victory away at fall cup
05:49three points between them
05:54you just wonder whether aberdeen have got the
05:59the fight in them
06:00well we'll see perhaps
06:03in the 40 minutes that are left of this game
06:05it's without alasanya
06:08well-timed challenge by fernandez who was then closed down
06:15geiger wins it for jensen
06:18ibrox is rocking now
06:20jensen in and the header over the top will
06:26leads to an aberdeen corner
06:47anti-pala-versa
06:49will take the out swinger for aberdeen they'll get another attempt to try again
07:08pala-versa's delivery a little deeper this time and too deep and easy for butland to come and claim
07:25is Chiwani
07:27and this is where they see rangers move back above celtic in the table and back to within three points
07:37of hearts who consequence of hearts who lead the way
07:44Aremu, and now Geiger, Geiger gets Aberdeen back into it and there is life in this Aberdeen
07:51sides.
07:53And an away goal, you've got to say, Dennis Geiger has finished that very well, but Rangers
08:02have well and truly shot themselves in the foot.
08:06An absolute cruise control, and then Chukwani lapsed at concentration, that back line has
08:12just stretched, you know, it's very interesting here.
08:16Look at Raskyam, he plays in that position between the centre-halves, and just when he
08:21thinks they're about to build the game, he flies out, and Geiger's left in the space there,
08:26Aberdeen counter quickly, and he's in the back of the net, goals cancelling each other
08:32at the start of the second half-year, back to one.
08:37Dennis Geiger scoring his first goal for Aberdeen, up until that January loan move from Hoffenheim,
08:43he was a one-club man, played over 100 games in the Bundesliga.
08:56He's telling Jamfey to calm down, I mean, there's not much more that Jamfey can do, he needs
09:01to pass forward.
09:04looking for more from Aberdeen captain, I've got to be honest.
09:15Asghar.
09:18Some inside Ibrox will have thought that the points were safe.
09:24Tavernier, Moor, breaking onto it now.
09:27Alessanya will look to hold up and hold off Fernandes, it's a helpful free kick to win.
09:33You see, that's the moment there, I know that obviously we're talking before,
09:37the second goal eventually comes with that.
09:38This never happened once, never happened once in the first half.
09:42Did one of the front men take the ball in, hold it up, allow the team to get up the
09:46park.
09:51So that strike from Dennis Geiger, Aberdeen's first away goal of 2026,
09:57that's eight and a half games without scoring.
09:59It's their first at Ibrox as well since February 2024.
10:05As I mentioned, Boyan Mijowski getting that goal, and the Todd Cantwell winner saw the three points remain here.
10:13It was a really smart finish from Geiger that's brought this game back to one.
10:21Tello Asgard clips it towards the back post, no takers for Rangers in the middle.
10:37You can see the concern just starting to come into the Danny role.
10:43He'll be furious, Gory, because first of all he'll be over the moon that they score the second goal early
10:50in the second half,
10:52thinking that the game can just be nice and controlled from here on out.
10:57And Ibrox was developing a bit of a party atmosphere, wasn't it?
11:00Yes, absolutely, and all of a sudden to concede a goal in that fashion as well, so quickly after going
11:06two up,
11:08it just adds an air of nervousness that really did not need to be there.
11:16A chance taken there by Nasser Giga.
11:20But the whole way that Kevin approaches that as well, it just lacked urgency for me.
11:26He's won it back there but given straight to Raskan.
11:30Both teams passing up possession and then Aberdeen the latest to do so as Robbins helps it on to Moore's
11:38effort towards that far post.
11:40He's already picked it out once.
11:42Well, the game's just getting a little bit stretched now.
11:45Slack from both turnovers galore.
11:48Mikey Moore just want to get on that right foot again.
11:52I'm not sure whether he's trying to have a strike or whether he's just trying to guide it into an
11:56area.
11:57In the end it comes to nothing from Moore.
12:06Well, Graeme Shinney will be coming on shortly for Aberdeen, the club captain.
12:12Lasagna to chase and get there before both Fernandes and Giga, he's done well.
12:17The substitute, Jamfi, waits for help from Palo Bersa, that takes a couple of Rangers players out of it.
12:25Jamfi now goes down and...
12:29Well, it will be a free kick that was outside the area on Emmanuel Jamfi.
12:34Advantage being played there by the referee.
12:36Well, again, all of a sudden you're making something there.
12:40They're all of a sudden able to... That's not a free kick.
12:44I mean, the second one's embarrassing. I mean, that's not a free kick.
12:47I mean, Asgard's had a couple of attempts at him there, but nothing really.
12:54It was a bit of a lazy defender, I've got to say, from Asgard.
12:58But he barely made contact with Jamfi.
13:07Kevin Nisbet.
13:10Heying this one up.
13:17All of a sudden there's a sense that there's something there for Aberdeen.
13:22I find it incredible.
13:24Nisbet not hanging about, clips the top of the wall off Asgard.
13:29And Aberdeen will settle for the corner before they make what will be a double change.
13:48And a good spell for the Dons.
13:51It's their support over in the far corner that are making the noise as Pala Versa delivers that all the
13:57way over.
13:59And that will be a goal kick, much to the annoyance of Jack Milne.
14:04Very, very deep corner.
14:06Jack Milne looked to go up so early that he was practically back on the ground by the time the
14:12ball was near him.
14:20This is Moor.
14:22And Remu tracking him.
14:26And doing so well.
14:28Romance.
14:30Straight to Jensen and now Olusanya.
14:37Milne to hoist it high, should be Fernandes' ball.
14:40But Nisbet just able to give him a little push and help it towards Geiger.
14:48The Rangers breaking forward and the yellow card has been shown to Dennis Geiger when Ibrox were desperate for that
14:59play to continue there.
15:01I have no idea why he didn't let it go, Matthew McDermott.
15:04I mean, he catches the top of his boot.
15:09It's a bit of a sore one for Geiger.
15:12It's not a dirty one, he's just trying to get his boot round the side.
15:16It's not as if he's actually deliberately tried to foul him and break it up either.
15:21Referee's got to see that that ball's there for Rangers to attack and let the game play.
15:30Noor again.
15:33He should just fizz away from Tavernier and does.
15:48He gets it into Palo Bersa.
15:52Geiger.
15:57Jensen again.
15:59Just helping that into the path of Niko Raskan.
16:05There goes Jensen, he was looking for that.
16:08The referee wouldn't buy it.
16:11Here's Moore.
16:15Cermiti was going for the spectacular.
16:18Just a touch that took it away from him.
16:21Here's Moore.
16:25Tavernier now.
16:29Challenged by Palo Bersa, there's a Rangers free kick.
16:35There's going to be a talking to for Jensen now.
16:39There.
16:49There.
17:08Aberdeen preparing a double change but they want to see off this set play and Tavernier
17:16stands over first it's a dangerous ball in it's Rasker and Rangers restore their two-goal advantage
17:27the set piece does the business once again for the home side Nico Rasker stabs in a third
17:37and that maybe now finishes off the Aberdeen fight well it's a cheap free kick to give away
17:45and it's terribly defended initially Kevin Nisbet drops so deep and plays everyone on at the back post there
17:56not a bad finish from Rasker just guides it in that corner there
18:02and at this point again you just feel as if it's too much for Aberdeen to claw back but cheap
18:09free kick
18:10punished
18:13Rangers are what you'd imagine back in a position of real ascendancy and they can control this game to the
18:20end
18:27well Kevin Nisbet was in conversation with uh Matthew McDermott he wasn't happy with something that
18:33had gone on in the middle there but VAR have confirmed the goal no there was nothing there
18:39they just never defended it properly they just never defended it properly Aberdeen at all
18:48Alessanya to Nisbet
18:51she steps in so too does Alessanya has made a difference there's no doubt about it from an
18:57Aberdeen point of view it's not a huge surprise is it really
19:01Moor though he was thriving for Rangers
19:24Moor towards Asgard
19:26Moor towards Asgard
19:35and he's not linking the game he's giving it away too easily
19:43Tavernier
19:44Naderi
19:46Asgard and Chirmiti
19:50Tavernier's cross should be Mitov's ball and is
20:00well it just gets back into that rhythm of you're waiting and expecting for
20:05the next attack to come from Rangers and apply more pressure the one thing you've got to say
20:12as you just mentioned previously there though is with Alessanya up top it gives them a bit of a
20:18platform to actually exert a bit of pressure of themselves but it's basic stuff
20:27if he's a remote indicating that his game is over here
20:33it was originally graham shinny who was going to come on for anti-pala versa
20:40a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit
20:41of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a
20:41bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of

20:48of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a
21:00bit
21:09So it's over for Nafisa Remu, still the subs wait, that's because Steven Robinson is also
21:24preparing Toppy Kaskinen.
21:51So Remu for now is looking to come back
21:55on but I don't think it will be for very long.
22:02Palo Verza's header out to Jamfi.
22:12Now the changes can be made, Nafisa Remu will head off.
22:17That change sees Toppy Kaskinen on, and the other two remain as expected.
22:28Graeme Shinny for Ante Palo Verza.
22:33And Marco Lazatic for Kevin Nisbet.
22:59He's going to drop a little deeper alongside Shinny now.
23:11Janssen.
23:32Janssen.
23:39Averdine possibly going to a back four with Janssen at right-back, Molloy at left-back,
23:43but we'll see how it all develops.
23:45Janssen.
23:48Quarter of the game to go.
23:50Janssen.
23:52Janssen.
24:00Janssen.
24:12Janssen.
24:14Janssen.
24:14Closed down by Shinny.
24:17Janssen.
24:18Janssen.
24:19Janssen.
24:20Janssen.
24:42Janssen.
24:42Janssen.
24:43Janssen.
24:43Janssen.
24:43Janssen.
24:45Janssen.
24:47Janssen.
24:51Janssen.
24:54Janssen.
24:54He's clattered on term there.
24:57Hopefully Chiquanize, get up and play on alright.
25:03Janssen.
25:04Janssen.
25:11Janssen.
25:14It looks to be okay to continue.
25:54It's away by William Morrison.
26:00And then Ciga gets there ahead of Lazatic.
26:12It's Rangers turn to be warming up some subs.
26:16Oliver Antman will be replacing Tello Asgard shortly.
26:26Ciga into Jensen.
26:34Jensen up the line, picked off by Romans.
26:43Raskat, Cermiti.
26:45Roman's still well forward.
26:51Cermiti, the crowd want it to go forward.
26:55Mikey Moore will do that.
26:58Looks for Raskat.
26:59Robinson slams it away.
27:01He was very close, wasn't he?
27:03He does that really well, Moore.
27:05Picks the ball up, drives it to space,
27:07commits the opposition, drags them out of areas
27:10to create space for others as well.
27:29all the Rangers' first set play,
27:31came up with that third goal for Niko Raskat.
27:43Tour Robins will take this one
27:52Lazatic should be able to clear this one, he's got a good battle on with Giga
27:57and he's got the strength to hold off the defender, not once but twice
28:02they did well there Lazatic, showing a good bit of strength
28:09as you said, two occasions sends Giga to the deck
28:17off goes Tello Asgard, and Oliver Antman known for him
28:39this is Lazatic, and the ball had gone out
28:52and he agrees
29:00Morrison under pressure from Cermiti
29:06in the end, saving the corner was the main job
29:10concedes the throw in and Rangers go quickly
29:12Cermiti would have been offside there, so Tavenier will just see that run out
29:40it's quite everyone allowing that to bounce and now Lazatic
29:43Lich, locked out by Jamfie.
29:50Aloy and Shinny under pressure from Naderi.
29:57Milne, Jensen.
30:07Shinny.
30:10Jamfie helping that forward towards Lazatic,
30:14but not enough on it allowing Tavernier to pick it up.
30:17Now Olusanya into the back of Jiga,
30:20that got Jiga out of a bit of a tricky situation that his touch had put him into.
30:25Yeah, did get him out of a hole there, didn't it?
30:28Just wondered whether Jiga does well to step across Olusanya at the end there,
30:32because when he took that touch you could see Olusanya was bombing down on him.
30:37Perhaps going to get onto the loose ball.
30:42He does well, he knows exactly what he's doing.
30:45Steps across just to win the free kick.
31:00He's got 15 minutes to go at Ibrox.
31:06Three Rangers goals, Luke, to see them safe to the three points.
31:19Chermiting.
31:22Tavernier.
31:24Milne did well.
31:33Jensen again, Romans knew it was coming.
31:38It was telegraphed, wasn't it?
31:42Moore, straight into the arms of Mitov.
31:51This is Geiger for Shinny, chance to run in behind here for Keskinen,
31:57all the way across to Lazatec, and he's missed a big chance there for Aberdeen,
32:01probably the best passenger play that we've seen from Steven Robinson's side.
32:05That's a guilt-edged opportunity for Lazatec at the back post.
32:09Olesana's got goal side of...
32:11I think it's Giga in the middle as well.
32:16And fortunately for Rangers, just too far in front of Olesana there.
32:24But Lazatec...
32:25That's a big, big chance.
32:29Just caught wide open there, Rangers.
32:33You had Chukwani that was in the left-back position,
32:35he had no real awareness of where Keskinen was,
32:39and all of a sudden they were...
32:44outnumbered, running in towards their own goal.
32:55And Keskinen is making a difference here for Aberdeen.
32:59Keskinen, Fernandes getting across, forces a corner,
33:03and that's lifted the spirits of the away fans.
33:11Keskinen, straight forward stuff.
33:14Having a bit of pace and energy up front.
33:18The ball breaks, you're able to get onto loose balls and flick it on,
33:21and...
33:23start to create a little bit of a...
33:26a feeling that there is something in an attacking sense for the side,
33:29whereas in the first half there was zero.
33:33Geiger's ball in, Butlan didn't get all of it,
33:35and then there's a commanding header from Fernandes just when Rangers needed it.
33:40and then there's a ball in.
33:43Jermfie...
33:44Milne couldn't quite get the flick on...
33:47Morrison.
33:53Well, Geiger's just stopped there and he will get the free kick.
33:58It'll be fair to see the replay here.
34:03Whether him just stopping is forced a hand to the referee,
34:07or whether it has genuinely clipped a hand here, yeah you can see that
34:16fair enough but at the same time though it takes a big chance there Geiger
34:21by stopping because that could easily have been on the blind side and the ref wouldn't see it
34:27grab Schinney takes but again it's wasteful from Aberdeen
34:41here's Ant-Man, Jephy, doing well one-on-one with him
34:50Lazatic wins it for Schinney, it's clattered by Ant-Man, that will be an Aberdeen free kick
35:27here's Tavernier, Ant-Man is straight to Jephy, we'll just have it back though only for a second
35:47Kesskinen getting away down that right-hand side again, Topi Kesskinen the pullback for
35:53Olusanya who rifles it over the top it's a strange one this because this shouldn't feel nervy for
36:01Rangers but around Ibrox there's definitely that kind of a feeling
36:07yeah I know what you mean absolutely although it would take an almighty collapse for it to come
36:13to anything but yeah there is a there is a certain sense of that it's not all done and dusty
36:24but also you look at Aberdeen it's not as if it's been a glittering performance in the centre
36:29but you can see where there's the potential to actually do something and it does pose the question
36:34of why are some of these guys not starting the game
36:39the double change, Jadon Magoma on for Tour Romans and
36:44Toti Shugwani who got the first goal he's replaced by Conor Barron who had been out since
36:52January came on for the last 18 minutes away at St Mirren last week and the former Aberdeen man into
36:58the
36:58middle of the park as it seems to be that the introduction of Kesskinen's made a difference
37:04they've gone to that back four I wonder if that'll be something that we see a bit more of from
37:10Steven Robinson
37:30Rasko driving Rangers forward should be Jensen's ball it is now Kesskinen
37:40a huge difference for Aberdeen
37:45that's silly from Magoma he tracks the run he gets close side of him and then he pulls his
37:51jersey and gives away a free kick
38:02Jampfi
38:07Morrison for Milne
38:13Geiger
38:24to Rasko
38:25good pick out for Cermiti
38:28Naderi
38:31Antman to the right
38:32Milne in the middle
38:34Barron at the back post it's the header from Naderi
38:37well picked out by Antman
38:41it's not a bad link up is it Naderi out wide and then just
38:45gets in behind Morrison there
38:47here's Jensen
38:49it's rather open for Aberdeen to attack here
38:54Fernandes cut it out before Olusanya could make a difference
38:57I'm not sure he didn't just slide it out to Kesskinen 1v1 against the fullback
39:01plenty bodies in the box
39:07Rasko
39:11Rasko
39:11Tavernier for Laderi just runs under his boot

39:49It's out to Kiskanen again.
39:56Shoulder to shoulder with Moore, it will be an Aberdeen throw-in despite protests from the Englishman.
40:02Jensen bypasses his man, Jamfie coming in at the back post.
40:08It will be a Rangers free-kick.
40:18It's a word for Mikey Moore from Matthew McDiarmid.
40:25Well, it was a ball into the box, there was numbers there.
40:30I don't know whether Jamfie's just clashed heads there with Tavernier or not,
40:37but it's what they need to continue to do more of when there's bodies there, Aberdeen.
40:46Well, Mikey Moore will get a big round of applause.
40:50His was the second goal, and he's been a threat throughout.
40:56So he'll be replaced by Gini Gassama for the final five minutes of this one.
41:04And there will be a change up front as well,
41:08as Yusef Cermiti heads off and it will be Boyan Miofsky to replace him.
41:34He's got a job getting into this Rangers starting line-up, it's very much Naderi and Cermiti the first-choice
41:41pairing.
41:46He's got a job getting into this Rangers starting line-up, it's very much Naderi and Cermiti the first-choice
41:46pairing.
41:49Kesskanen, loose touch, allows Magoma to take over.
42:04Butlin is a bit on his back foot there, and here's Shinny for Jensen.
42:14Geiger, mopped up by Barron.
42:19Antman, finding the space to run into.
42:22A couple of players had a nibble, and he's got it back.
42:28Antman, and now opens it up for Miofsky.
42:32Would love a goal against this old club.
42:38Oh, it's a great driving run from Oliver Antman.
42:42And then he releases Miofsky.
42:45Tell you what, that's not bad, cos it's unsighted for the goalkeeper there when he whips it through the defender's
42:52legs.
42:58The answer not the line, but Olusanya pulls out of that one.
43:13Milne wins it above Naderi.
43:17A lot of Kesskanen can do with it.
43:19A bit of a risky pass.
43:21Here comes Gassama, opens up nicely for Janie Gassama.
43:27Oh, it fizzes just wide.
43:30Mitoff certainly concerned enough to dive.
43:34He did not know that was going wide.
43:36Well, he picked up a real head of steam quickly and it meant the Aberdeen defence were all caught in
43:41their heels drifting past a few of them.
43:44Plenty of venom in the shot, but...
43:48past that far post.
43:50It was a fair relief for Aberdeen.
43:59Tavernier to Naderi.
44:01The captain holding off.
44:03Janfie felt he was being held.
44:05He has a case.
44:07Morrison gets away with that.
44:10Shinny.
44:16Jenssso.
44:17Again they feed Torfjie Kesskanen.
44:21Jensen, are they unable to...
44:23get involved there.
44:28Jensen, are they unable to get involved there?
44:46It sounds like the plan is to add four minutes at the end of the 90.
44:58A lot of the home fans making for the exits pretty content that the three points are safe.
45:07There were moments of anxiousness around Ibrox but in the end it's
45:14been a pretty straightforward victory as Maderi loses out, Germfi.
45:24Raskat, it's over the top of Miofsky and Jensen.
45:30Well that's well won by Gossama.
45:36Gossama trying to work his way through and then it is Miofsky who scores against his old side.
45:45Gojan Miofsky makes it 4-1.
45:51Rangers doing their job and doing it very convincingly this afternoon.
45:56At this stage of the season it's all about victories.
46:02Rangers matching hearts from earlier on in the day
46:05and they will leap Prague Celtic into second place tonight.
46:10Well, Aberdeen are complaining a fair bit.
46:15A bit of handball perhaps but just defensively not good enough.
46:20That's a really, really good finish there from Bojan Miofsky, plenty of bodies around,
46:28always second best.
46:31Gossama cutting in like nice little layoff from Maderi and Miofsky makes no mistakes slamming into the back of the
46:39net.
46:40But Jensen's just far too easily muscled out of possession in the corner there.
46:48I saw the handball that they were talking about before.
46:50I've not seen it in the replay where there'd even be a potential handball.
46:56I don't know if it's even before that incident but I mean you're going back a fair bit.
47:01I don't know where it could be potentially.
47:03Does it ricochet back up on to Gossama?
47:06Oh, I'm at a loss.
47:20Well, it looks like it was going to be overturned.
47:23An on-field review.
47:28Well, you can see there Matthew McDermott had his back turned.
47:44It will be disallowed.
47:48Do you know what, I do actually remember the incident and I thought to myself,
47:51they're lucky that it was behind the refs back, but it was that flaming long ago I'd forgotten about it.
47:58So Miofsky won't get his goal against his old club that would have really rubbed salt in the wound for
48:06Aberdeen.
48:10We've seen a few interesting handball decisions of late, I don't think that that's one of them.
48:18No, I mean, here's the interesting thing, it's always going to be given as a free kick but
48:23I wouldn't want to be seeing things like that in the box being given as a penalty, personally.
48:30Yeah, that's a debate for another day.
48:33Miofsky will be very disappointed that his goal has been chopped off.
48:47Apologies for the bad language picked up.
49:00Here's Morrison.
49:04Molloy for
49:06Alessanya.
49:08And a tug on the shirt of Tavernier.
49:16So, you know, you've talked about
49:18that huge game for Aberdeen away at Samir and they've then got Hibs after that for Rangers.
49:24Home to Dundee United, next, and then away to Falkirk to finish these pre-split games.
49:30Of course it's the international break coming up just to take a bit of the momentum out of the
49:34championship race but gives the teams an extra week just to recuperate perhaps and get ready for
49:41that final run-in to the end of the season which is going to be fascinating.
49:46This title race is going all the way.
49:53This is Olusanya.
49:58Takes on the challenge with Barron.
50:02He lost the battle but won the war.
50:05Now Antmann.
50:07Miofsky still wants his goal.
50:09Antmann chops back inside, Keskenen went all the way with him, it's going to be a yellow card for the
50:14fin.
50:23That man again doing well driving forward.
50:27Nice little check back inside but
50:31Keskenen was having none of it.
50:34Neither was Danny Roll.
50:46The Rangers want four.
50:56Nitof asks for a four-man wall to try and stop it from happening.
51:17That's Jayden Magoma stands over this.
51:20James Tavenier there as well.
51:23He's got this incredible record against Aberdeen, this Tavenier.
51:29It is James Tavenier!
51:34That's sensational from the skipper.
51:38Rangers get their fourth and in stunning fashion it's pinpoint from James Tavenier who continues this
51:46record against the Dons. 40 appearances, 16 goals more than against any other club.
51:54Rangers, no slip-up in the title race.
51:58What a finish.
52:01Pinpoint accuracy.
52:04Mito desperately trying to scramble across.
52:06It's where the wall is, it's over that side.
52:10But it makes no difference to the captain, over the wall, into the top corner.
52:15What a fantastic goal.
52:16Well, that's some way to finish it all off.
52:21The icing on the cake from the captain. 14 goals for the season.
52:26Rangers leapfrog Celtic into second.
52:30It's a three-point gap to Hearts at the top of the table.
52:36Rangers finishing off Aberdeen comfortably in the end by four goals to one.
52:41And, well, Michael, a chance to name your player of the match this evening.
52:46Well, I felt in the first half in particular, down that left-hand side with Romans and Moore,
52:51they were a real threat.
52:52Romans drifted out a little in the second half, but Moore continued to be a threat.
52:57He got that goal right at the start of the second half as well.
53:01He was my man of the match here this afternoon, Rory.
53:04Well, thank you very much, Michael. Mikey Moore, the player of the match.
53:10Hearts did their job earlier, Rangers follow suit.
53:13It's over to Celtic tomorrow to see what they can do up at Tandais.
53:17The full-time score here at Ibrox Stadium.
53:21Rangers four, Aberdeen one.
