The runaway leaders were pegged back in the second half by Matty Kennedy’s response from ten-man Aberdeen for a nervous end to the match, but Steven Gerrard’s side got the job done at Pittodrie for the second time this season.
Ryan Kent regained his early-season form that saw him score the clincher in the opening game of the season against the Dons, and was denied another by a great save by Joe Lewis.
But Lewis could not keep out a great first half finish from the Colombian striker, and was left exposed for the striker's second, but did witness a rarity when James Tavernier missed a penalty – his tenth opportunity from the spot this season - and his first miss.
Ryan hedges saw red for the challenge on Morelos that led to the spot-kick, but even with ten men the Dons asked Rangers’ defence questions and Allan McGregor denied Jonny Hayes with a great save just after the break.
But Rangers still went on to manage the game and register their 15th straight league victory – even if they conceded their sixth goal of the season. Here’s how the Rangers players rated using our usual performance scale.
