Rangers receive boost as Aberdeen missing key players ahead of SPFL clash
Rangers will face Aberdeen in their next Scottish Premiership clash on Wednesday.
Ahead of the game, the Gers have received a major boost as the Daily Record suggest the Dons are missing several key players.
Aberdeen are already missing some important players through injuries, and now Calvin Ramsay and Jack MacKenzie have joined the list as well.
Aberdeen are struggling badly this season, sitting eighth in the table with only 11 points on board.
They are heading into this game on the back of a 1-0 win against Hibernian. The victory finally arrived after a winless run of 10 games in a row.
The win over the Hibs came at a cost. Ramsay was forced off after half an hour, and centre-back Declan Gallagher was also injured.
McKenzie faced an ankle injury and along with Ramsay could be out for a month. Goalkeeper Joe Lewis, meanwhile, played on with a broken nose.
Long list
Aberdeen are already missing the likes of Mikey Devlin and Matty Kennedy, and the latest injuries have come as a massive blow to Stephen Glass.
Andy Considine is also a long-term absentee after he suffered a cruciate ligament injury against Qarabag at the start of the season.
It means the Dons will go to Ibrox with a make-shift defence. Captain Scott Brown will drop into the back-line.
With Aberdeen missing so many key players, it comes as a natural boost for Rangers, but Steven Gerrard obviously will focus on his own team.
The Gers are gradually starting to pick up momentum, having won three of their last four games in all competitions.
Although the ruthless side from their game is still lacking, they are at least picking up some vital victories.
The 2-1 win over St Mirren has put them at the top of the SPFL table. Rangers are three points above Hearts, who drew 1-1 against Dundee.
