Overview
- Rangers travel to Pittodrie on Sunday, 30 August for a 12pm BST kick-off after collecting one point from their first two league games and being eliminated from Conference League qualifying.
- Aberdeen arrive in strong domestic form, having won six of seven competitive matches and all four home games this season with Kevin Nisbet scoring freely.
- Manager Stephen Robinson confirmed several absences for Aberdeen, including Brad Lyons, Ante Palaversa, Emmanuel Gyamfi and Kristers Tobers, while Mats Knoester is back in contention for selection.
- Rangers are expected to rotate after the midweek exit with Cammy Devlin available from suspension, new signing Kim Min-su possibly making his debut and Nico Raskin missing recent travel amid transfer talks.
- The match is shown live in the UK on Sky Sports with streams on Sky Go and NOW and radio coverage on BBC Radio Scotland, and the result could intensify scrutiny of McInnes and influence early transfer or selection decisions.
