Rangers See Off Aberdeen 2-0 to Climb Back to Second in Five-Game Surge

Clean-sheet focus with set-piece precision is powering Danny Rohl's five-game surge in a tight title race.

Overview

  • Both goals came from rehearsed situations, with Thelo Aasgaard finishing a short-corner routine before James Tavernier converted a late penalty.
  • Emmanuel Fernandez had a header ruled out after a VAR review for a foul on goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov.
  • Rohl highlighted a growing "clean sheet mentality" as Rangers have conceded eight goals in 14 league games under him, winning 11 with eight shutouts.
  • Rangers confirmed a £4m deal for midfielder Tochi Chukwuani from Sturm Graz before kickoff as the first January signing.
  • Aberdeen’s winless run reached seven league matches, with home fans jeering Bojan Miovski and objects reported thrown during Rangers’ celebrations.
