What channel is Aberdeen v Rangers? TV, live stream and highlights plus team news, referee and VAR

Rangers will have little time to recover from their midweek European exertions before returning to William Hill Premiership duty in Aberdeen on Sunday.

The Light Blues go into lunchtime kick-off in the Granite City on the back of a gruelling Europa League quarter-final first leg match against Athletic Bilbao at Ibrox on Thursday.

Barry Ferguson’s side battled to a goalless draw against the hotly-tipped Spaniards despite losing defender Robin Propper to a red card after just 12 minutes, and suffering three injuries during the match to Bailey Rice, Ridvan Yilmaz and Dujon Sterling. Goalkeeper Liam Kelly also saved a penalty to keep Rangers in the tie ahead of the return leg in Spain next week.

All eyes will now be on Pittodrie and what kind of team Rangers put on the field amid injury and fatigue concerns with their impending trip to Bilbao taking priority.

That being said, Aberdeen v Rangers matches are always fiercely contested and Ferguson’s men will be keen to avoid falling to another league defeat that would hand the title to Celtic before the split, providing the league leaders overcome Kilmarnock on Saturday.

Aberdeen have their own agenda at stake and will hope to reclaim third place for a few hours at least with a victory which would put them two points above Hibs in the table ahead of the Edinburgh club’s match against Dundee at Easter Road in the later kick-off.
