Rangers v Aberdeen on TV: Is the match being broadcast in the UK? How to watch Scottish Premiership clash

Rangers will hope to break their six game winless run when they welcome Aberdeen to Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership for their penultimate home game of the 24/25 season this Sunday.

While Barry Ferguson’s side fought for a hard earned 1-1 draw with fierce rivals Celtic last week, the Hoops second-half equaliser meant it has now been over 40 days since the Light Blues last tasted victory. Visiting Aberdeen also have a point to prove though, having fallen behind in the race for third place following last week’s narrow 1-0 loss away to St Mirren.

The fourth and final time the sides will play each other this season, their last clash saw Rangers secure a dramatic late draw as Ianis Hagi’s long-range drive in injury time helped his side rescue a 2-2 at Pittodrie, despite being down to 10-men after Ross McCausland’s red card.

Supporters who are looking to watch the game on TV in the UK and abroad will be able to do so, with several ways that you can keep up with the game from the first whistle to the last:

What is the 3pm Blackout Rule in the UK?

While the 3pm Saturday kick-offs are the slot in which a bulk of Scottish Premiership games are played during weekend football matches - with multiple games happening at the same time - they are never broadcast live on television due to the 'football blackout'.

This rule means that football that no Scottish Premiership game can be broadcast on live television on Saturday between 2:45pm and 5:15pm. Games may be played on that day and on that time, but are forbidden to be televised in the UK – with Saturday televised kick-offs mostly occurring at 12:30pm or 5:30pm.
