Aberdeen 0 Rangers 1 LIVE score as penalty debate rages in the Granite City

The Scottish Premiership has emerged from cold storage after the winter break was brought forward.

But a midweek trip to the north east in mid-January is always a bit chilly.

Unless, of course, Rangers are in the Granite City where the Ibrox side are always guaranteed a hot reception.

And this will be no different as they and Aberdeen battle it out following the resumption of the league.

Celtic made sure the heat was on the champions ahead of their long journey north with a win over Hibs on Monday night.

That cut the gap at the top of the table to just three points so the pressure is on for Giovanni van Bronckhorst and tonight they come up against a team that includes Scott Brown, who he’ll be hell-bent on sending Alfredo Morelos and Co back down the road empty handed.

Stephen Glass has won four of his last five games with the Dons and will be hoping to pick up where they left off before the break.
