Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Rangers FC host Aberdeen FC — let the battle begin!
- 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jimmy Thelin might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 15' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 20' Rangers FC currently sit 2 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 25' John Souttar has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rangers FC that had 402 games and scored 785 goals.
- 34' It’s gonna be a card for Kristers Tobers.
- 39' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Leon Balogun suffering a number of foals already.
- 44' Aberdeen FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 44.
- 46' Another substitution for Aberdeen FC to replace Jeppe Okkels by Kevin Nisbet on 46 minute.
- 51' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 55' Vaclav Cerny makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Rangers FC are in front.
- 60' Supporters expect more eagerness from Topi Keskinen, as he is very good at scoring at Ibrox Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 61' GOAL! Cyriel Dessers scores on 61. Assisted by Nicolas Raskin
- 65' A change in the Aberdeen FC ranks — Nicky Devlin exits the field as Alexander Jensen enters on 65.
- 67' That looks like a foul for a card for Mohammed Diomande.
- 70' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Hamza Igamane makes it 3-0.
- 72' The supporters are chanting for Bailey Rice. He replaces Mohammed Diomande on 72 minute.
- 77' Rangers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 79' Dante Polvara makes way for Shayden Morris at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from Aberdeen FC.
- 84' It is a cagey affair so far. Rangers FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Aberdeen FC's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 89' That is a card for Aberdeen FC. Jamie McGrath will be fuming at that decision.
- 90' John Souttar has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 90.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Rangers FC to claim maximum points.
