Rangers are in dire need of a response when they face off with Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.

The Gers suffered more European embarrassment on Thursday against Czech outfit Jablonec in the Conference League play-offs.

Rangers were beaten 1-0 on the night, which tied the aggregate score at 1-1 and meant a shoot-out was needed.

Derek McInnes' men lost on penalties, and as a result will play no further part in European football this season.

Next up, is a trip to Pittodrie to face McInnes' former employers Aberdeen, and the pressure is already mounting on the Rangers manager.

For fans unable to make the trip, Ibrox News has all the details about how you can watch the Scottish Premiership encounter from home.

How can I watch Rangers' Scottish Premiership match at Aberdeen?

Rangers have already lost in Europa League qualifying, but to go out of the Conference League too was nothing short of embarrassing.

It has not been a good start to the Scottish Premiership either, though, and McInnes is already feeling the heat.

An opening 1-1 draw at Dundee United was followed by a dispiriting 2-1 loss to Hibernian at Ibrox.

McInnes is consequently already feeling the heat in the Ibrox dugout, and Sunday's (30 August) game at Pittodrie, which kicks off at 12pm UK time, already has a must-win feel.

Rangers fans will travel in their numbers as per usual, but for those supporter not making the trip the game will be on television.

Sky Sports will be televising the fixture on Sky Sports Football, with coverage and analysis starting from 11am.

How did Rangers fare against Aberdeen last season?

Rangers endured a poor campaign last term, ultimately finishing third behind Celtic and a Hearts side managed by McInnes.

They did, though, have a good time of it in general against Aberdeen, emerging victorious on the three occasions they faced the Dons.

Rangers earned 2-0 and 4-1 victories at Ibrox, while Thelo Aasgaard and James Tavernier scored in a 2-0 away win back in January.

Indeed, Rangers have only been beaten by Aberdeen once in the past 10 competitive outings between the teams, winning seven and drawing the other two.
