What channel is Rangers v Aberdeen on? Is it on TV? Kick-off time, how to watch, referee and VAR

Rangers will look to bounce back from their Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Celtic when they host Aberdeen at Ibrox on Sunday in the first round of post-split fixtures.

The two sides met only a fortnight ago at Pittodrie with Aberdeen coming out on top 2-0 in the final match before the split thanks to goals from Liam Scales and Bojan Miovski. The Dons are on a seven-game winning streak and confirmed the permanent appointment of manager Barry Robson this week.

While Rangers’ season is effectively over – they will be confirmed as Premership runners-up if Celtic clinch the title with a win at Hearts in the earlier kick-off – Aberdeen are still involved in the battle to finish third and currently lead fourth-placed Hearts by five points.

With the prize at stake likely to be the guarantee of European group stage football next season there is plenty at stake for the Dons in their remaining fixtures and they would give themselves a huge boost if they could take something from Ibrox.
