00:00Hey, it's a game ranger and you'd want to play in two teams who've left their fans battle many times in many ways this season. You never quite know what they'll find to do next.
00:30Let's have a look at the lineups at Petaudry today. Jimmy Tullin names an unchanged side from Ross County. Ross Doohan starts again with Dimitar Mitov injured again. Alexander Yenton and Alfie Dorrington made their debuts as subs at Ibrox at New Year.
00:52Ante Pala Versa once of Manchester City has made himself a first pick lately. Shader Morris scored the winner against Rangers here in October. Kevin Nisbet has seven goals in the last nine games.
01:07Sub Nicky Devlin also scored against Rangers here. 17-year-old Fletcher Boyd comes onto the bench. Barry Ferguson makes nine changes with Bilbao in mind.
01:19Liam Kelly stays in after his heroics on Thursday. Robin Brokker stays in after his red card. And there's a first premiership start for Rafa Fernandes.
01:30There's a first start ever for Finlay Curtis. Connor Barron faces his former club as captain for the day. It's the first game in three months for Oscar Cortez.
01:40Danilo's last start was against Aberdeen at Ibrox in January. 16-year-old Aidan McCallion and 18-year-old Xander Hutton join a strong bench.
01:52After a slow start to life at Aberdeen, Kevin Nisbet has found some form. His three goals against Rangers all came in defeats. Maybe it's time to change that today.
02:06And it's a special day for 18-year-old Finlay Curtis. A first start for Rangers. He's a Rangers fan who's been in their academy from the age of six.
02:23Jimmy Chalene's Aberdeen have come good again. Barry Ferguson has won all four away games, but none at home.
02:30Stephen McLean is the referee with Andrew Dallas on VAR duty.
02:37Aberdeen and Rangers have taken the highs and lows and ups and downs of football to ridiculous levels this season.
02:44What are you expecting today is granted a hard question, James.
02:49Absolutely. That Rangers team, you'd better luck picking the lottery numbers than guessing that team and coming into the game.
02:55But these games are always fiery. And it's an opportunity for some of these players.
02:59Barry Ferguson speaking about, you know, the injuries that he picked up on Thursday night.
03:03So, for these players and the team, it's a chance for them to get themselves on the team for that big game coming up on Thursday.
03:08And for Aberdeen, a great chance to get themselves further up the table, put themselves in a good position for that fight for third place.
03:16Much change Rangers team.
03:18And that game is immediately taken out.
03:23You know, the free kick for the home side, as K clearly fouled by Fernandes.
03:41Roxen sends it out towards Morris, staying away by Curtis.
03:45Curtis.
03:49Higula Conner Barron, who is in Aberdeen's academy from a young age, a local boy.
03:56And he has the captain's armband for Rangers for this one.
04:04Just to wind Folk up a few more.
04:06Yeah, not that they need it around here, but certainly adds a little bit extra to it.
04:22They are only recovered to take it off the toes of Panamersa.
04:28Kesskinen.
04:33He has got Gay outside and will use him.
04:36Kesskinen up against Fernandes.
04:39And Ross McCausland is able to clear it.
04:52Barry Ferguson's Rangers have been excellent away from home.
04:56But we all know the story at home.
05:06Dorothy Dorrington is on loan from Anne Postacoglou's Tottenham.
05:20Mats Hirster.
05:26Clarkson picks one again and does find Morris this time, briefly.
05:33Clarkson.
05:34Gay.
05:34Well, it looked ambitious to start with.
05:41Yeah, not his best effort at the gate.
05:45Just doesn't catch it at all.
05:50It's been a strange first season in charge for Jimmy Tallinn.
05:5511 unbeaten from the kick-off and then 14 without a win and now one defeat in seven in the Premiership and that was at Celtic Park.
06:05There's quite a lot about these two teams he just couldn't make up this season.
06:10Yeah, it's quite a season they're having.
06:14But look, it could still be a successful one for Aberdeen in the top six in that fight for third place.
06:20It could be a good season for them, still in the cup as well.
06:27Oscar Cortez, who looks a player.
06:32The Rangers fans haven't quite seen enough of him but they're seeing a bit now and it is a corner as Taliburcer puts it behind.
06:39Yeah, it's a good player, slight pass from Papagate.
06:45But a little interplay from Danilo Ligaman to Cortez.
06:49Certainly if they can get that, working will cause problems.
06:53Not getting much of a welcome, nothing he won't have expected.
07:10Steve McLean has spotted something in a very congested six-yard box.
07:23Ross Dewey surrounded.
07:29Corner balance, corner is cleared by Gaye.
07:32Certainly Curtis was sizing one up but didn't get the opportunity.
07:38Enciada now, gathered by Dewey.
07:53And Aberdeen are only behind Hibs in recent form.
08:02Last seven premiership games.
08:06Hibs in action.
08:08Later this afternoon at home to Dundee.
08:11The battle for third place is certainly going to be interesting.
08:17Clarkson.
08:18She's drifted away from Keskinet.
08:23She's drifted away from Keskinet.
08:39Aberdeen hoping to win back-to-back.
08:40League games against Rangers here at Biggs.
08:44And Rodri for the first time since 2006 under the Leagues.
08:49And wonderful Jimmy Calderwood.
08:52Jetson.
08:54Challenged by Curtis.
08:55And that's a goal kick.
08:58That's good defending.
09:00Finlay Curtis.
09:01A player that prefers to play further up the pitch.
09:04But he's been asked to play in that wing-back role today.
09:09And that's a good start for him.
09:12He was geeing up the fans there and he is a fan himself.
09:19Four appearances as a sod before this first start for Finlay Curtis.
09:23Straight down the middle from Liam Kelly.
09:25Flicked on by Cortes.
09:27To Lilo challenging.
09:29And that's a good start.
09:31And that's a good start.
09:32And that's good for him.
09:34And that's a good start.
09:36And that's good for him.
09:38Straight down the middle from Liam Kelly.
09:40Flicked on by Cortes.
09:42To Lilo challenging.
09:45And that's good for him.
09:47And that's good for him.
09:49And it's good for him.
09:50He arrived from AC Milan, but it took him a while to make his debut for Rangers.
10:05The debut was at the start of January.
10:20Here in October, Igarman backing away and Barani has released Cortes and he is able to help it on to Danilo.
10:38And the offside flag goes up anyway.
10:41Two poor touches there, first one from Cortes, too far out of his feet.
10:46Danilo then strays offside and his touch is poor as well.
10:50But again, it's that threat when Rangers win the ball back, the three and attack, they break it speed.
11:11Rangers have lost three of the last six finishing games.
11:29Morris taking on Curtis.
11:34It looks already like that'll be...
11:38Offside.
11:39Offside.
11:40Initial it.
11:43But it's that heavy touch, almost.
11:50Unless it sees a move break down and then heavy touch from Danilo, but Cortes is offside.
11:56In any case.
11:58Yeah, the flag went up.
12:00Here on the Thursday night with that penalty.
12:05We save.
12:11Coming into the team.
12:15Jack Buckman was dropped.
12:22And this is but now.
12:25Keskin and onto this.
12:26And Seattle will clear the cross.
12:29Aberdeen hadn't quite caught up with Keskin.
12:31In numbers.
12:43Shinny.
12:45Clarkson.
12:46Over the head of Morris.
12:49Palo Versa.
12:50While it was, uh, inviting an attempt.
13:05There have been 26 goals in Rangers' line.
13:07Barron fought by Rami.
13:12Fernandez.
13:13Proper.
13:14And now Enciana.
13:16Cortes with a flick on, but...
13:17It's tidied up by Mats Nurster.
13:19Palo Versa.
13:20Palo Versa.
13:21We've spent three years with Manchester City.
13:22Palo Versa.
13:23We've spent three years with Manchester City.
13:24It's a good partnership in that Medfield.
13:25Palo Versa.
13:26Palo Versa.
13:27We've spent three years with Manchester City.
13:31It's a good partnership in that Medfield.
13:32Palo Versa.
13:33Palo Versa.
13:34Palo Versa.
13:35We've spent three years with Manchester City.
13:36It's a good partnership in that Medfield.
13:37Palo Versa.
13:38And Clarkson.
13:39It's a good partnership in that Medfield.
13:40Palo Versa.
13:41It's a good partnership in that Medfield.
13:42Palo Versa.
13:43And Clarkson.
13:44Palo Versa.
13:45It's a bad game.
13:46Looks to get the better of Fernandez, who recovered and got his body back in the way.
13:50Yeah, it's a great recovery as well.
14:07well good balling behind Papageyo using his his strength there to get in front of Fernandes but
14:14he does really well to recover it. Aram is past releasing McCausland
14:20Ross McCausland making his first start since the Scottish Cup tie against Fraser Brough in which he scored
14:38Aliversa for Morris, but William Kelly's having that
14:58William Kelly did play in that new year game against Aberdeen, 3-0 win for Rangers, two goals in stoppage time
15:08here's McCausland losing out to Keskinen
15:16he's making up good ground here for Aberdeen, Toti Keskinen and Trava concedes to the corner
15:28that's great play from Keskinen running straight at the heart of that defence
15:32slightly over hits the pass and proper is there to clear it up
15:38it's going to be good from corners this season only half have scored more
15:54it's Paraversa to take this
15:58Aberdeen forming a queue
15:59queue to score maybe hoisted in by Palaversa, Lerster won it
16:11no way out for Rangers yet, Dorrington scooped his cross in Palaversa
16:18sending off McCausland
16:24Keskinen, oh he got his cross in
16:28it's Tagge
16:32just wouldn't settle for Aberdeen, Rangers look to go on the counter with Danilo and Igeman
16:37Saldemortis actually back there, defending
16:51Fernandes, someone from Lille.
17:13His only previous start was in the Scottish Cup tie against Queen's Park.
17:18A cause of an in towards a good man.
17:21Nurstner allowing his keeper to come.
17:27He's been offside anyway.
17:42Shinny.
17:48A cause of clearance lands at the feet of Shinny, Nisbet let it go, but Curtis onto it.
18:07By Rami.
18:12Chenea Cross
18:42have won the three of the last seven games against Rangers Danilo
18:54McCausland kicked it in
18:59Fernandez
19:13the Dean have won their last two games against Ross County and Motherwell they
19:19haven't actually done three in a row since November in their season of ups and
19:27downs and then up again
19:44Michael Biehl actually won his first nine away games Barry's on four at the
19:50moment
19:57let's go
20:04shimmy
20:16There's been shimmy
20:23Just gonna looking to make it happen again
20:27Okay
20:31What a massive opportunity for Aberdeen to take the lead
20:34Say the Morris and able to score this time against Rangers
20:39That's a huge opportunity Kesskin and driving inside looking at the shot away
20:44fortunate to land
20:46Left overly
20:48Carey's he's advancing
20:51Trying to just slot it past them
20:56It's a big opportunity for Aberdeen that comes from the the direct run in the Kesskin and coming off in that left-hand side
21:07Gonna miss hurts, but Rangers have an issue as well with Rafa Fernandez is
21:12Receiving treatment and that's the last thing that
21:18Barry Ferguson needed in this makeshift lineup
21:21John Suter is on the bench James Tabernier as well, but I don't think he'd have wanted to
21:33Use those kind of subs quite yet. No, I think that it's always you know the risk when you make the the changes and you give players a rest that
21:41You're forced into an early change and that rest doesn't happen and I just wonder if the players on the bench
21:47And you'll be thinking I hope it's him and it's not me that's kicking on because I'm enjoying my rest, but
21:53But it's just a it's unfortunate you know for
21:57Particular Rafa Fernandez, but for Barry Ferguson and his coaching staff that
22:02Are forced into this change so early in the game
22:05Well, it looks from his body language like it's game over and that James Tabernier is going to have to play a more prominent part in this game than he
22:16Than Barry Ferguson wanted him to
22:21Having to call on the captain with Rafa Fernandez going off
22:25Tavernier is scored more goals against Aberdeen than any other team
22:3514
22:39Last goal against them won the League Cup last season
22:44Connor Barron didn't get to wear that armband for long
22:48And there's if it was okay clearly, you know I can see that he was
22:57struggling
23:00Jessa from Fernandez was the is okay or he was okay
23:05And normally players go out warm up around the minute mark so I mean just shy shy of going out for his warm up
23:18I
23:21Bala Versa Morris
23:24Is that the big moment in the match
23:40This but got there ahead of by Rami
23:48Bala Versa
23:52Clarkson for Nisbet
23:55Gay
24:00Bala Versa
24:02Jensen
24:05Bala Versa in towards Gay but Tabernier across to meet that
24:18It's a week ahead for Rangers of course but also for Aberdeen with the Scottish Cup
24:44semi-final to come against Hart and Hampden next Saturday
24:50Here's Chini
24:53Corner is given, Ross McCausland fell otherwise
25:02Chini's climbing the shirts we pulled, he's looking for a three kick
25:08Five yards away from where the corner's going to be taken
25:14So another corner
25:28Pala Versa floating it in, Prepper won it
25:31Helped on his way by Cortez who's
25:39Had so many injury issues across his time at Rangers came back on loan from
25:44Launce
25:50But hasn't seen much action this season
25:53I don't think Chini agrees with that decision
26:14Don't think Chini agrees with that decision
26:16I'm just going to have a look atidelity
26:35Definitely in disagreement there
26:37it's going to be breathing down the back of his shirt
26:47a bit scrappy so far and Barry Ferguson thought it might be that way
27:17you come out and took that on
27:28into Danilo, Higamann
27:30Connor Barron, that would have gone down well if that had ended up in the top corner
27:39it's always a danger when you're booing the redundant player that picks one up and smashes
27:45it in at the top corner, it's high and wide from him but certainly been reminded that Aberdeen
27:54fans exactly what they think of him
27:57He's not scored for Rangers yet, scored twice for Aberdeen and actually gave them the lead
28:02at Ibrox with one of those goals, although they lost 4-1 in the end
28:09his other Aberdeen goal was in the first minute against St Mirren
28:15Barron's strike there, albeit wayward was Rangers first attempt
28:22in the opening 25 minutes
28:26Schinney halting Danilo, televersa for Keskenen
28:34McCausland has certainly taken out Schinney there
28:43he just gets a point inside the McCausland, Schinney
28:49Talaversa in Croatian over the free kick
28:59Talaversa in Croatian over the free kick
29:03Talaversa in Croatian over the free kick
29:09Herrd played Gey happy
29:18Gey happy
29:21Aberdeen, searching for the opening goal
29:24talaversa gets height on that, been too much of it as it turned out
29:33I mean, the deliveries have been pretty poor.
29:38The traversal massively overhitting it.
29:39Good targets in there as well.
29:53Liam Kelly's going long again.
30:03Danilo flicked it on.
30:07Cortez.
30:08A man alongside.
30:09I mean, there's another weak attempt from Cortez.
30:15That's... I mean, even the angle has been difficult to score from there.
30:19Danilo was making up ground as well.
30:21If he could get his head up and see him coming out of the back post.
30:28Boris.
30:28Jensen sends a lovely cross in.
30:34Proper digs it out.
30:40Keskenen.
30:43And they've thrown it off McCausland.
30:47What a cross this is from Jensen.
30:49Morris taking the two men down the line.
30:51First time delivery.
30:52And he does really well.
30:53Papagate.
30:54Get free.
30:55He's wrestling me proper in the middle.
30:56Just can't get enough on it.
30:57But it's all in the delivery from Jensen.
31:03Change of corner kick taker for this one.
31:06It's Leighton Clarkson.
31:09Instead of Palo Verza.
31:13Clarkson goes towards that near post.
31:17It's actually cleared by Curtis.
31:25Clarkson again.
31:26Cheney.
31:29Nice.
31:30Brust off Tavernier.
31:31Oh, that's not for us.
31:33Looking, he's stayed in there.
31:36And another big chance goes begging for Aberdeen.
31:38Yeah, it was a big chance.
31:40It falls to the wrong man.
31:41You've got Papagate in there.
31:42You've got Kevin Nesbitt.
31:43It's great play from Cheney down the left-hand side.
31:47Brushing the side, James Tavernier.
31:48And it's a great delivery.
31:50Little bounce in front of him.
31:52He's leaning back.
31:55And it's the chance you want to fault with one of your strikers, not your centre-back.
31:59Nonetheless, he should be doing much better from that position.
32:01And it stays nil-nil at the top of Mildred.
32:12And it stays nil-nil at the top of Mildred.
32:15And it stays nil-nil at Euronii.
32:16And it stays nil-nil at the top of Mildred.
32:18Clarkson, flicked on by Bayrami, Danilo now, able to feed Higgemann, Dorrington, that's
32:34great because Aberdeen they were advancing with Keskinen, and he is taken out and that's
32:39going to be a useful free kick for Aberdeen.
32:47McCausland is late on Dorrington, the first one, Connor Barron getting back, Keskinen driving
32:54inside again, I mean he's claiming he gets a touch of the ball which he does but he takes
32:59Keskinen out before that and I don't think he has to make the challenge either, Tavenier's
33:04there, it's a direct running from Keskinen, he picks that ball up, he wants to drive inside,
33:11commit players, and they've got a chance now Aberdeen,
33:16deliveries up until this point haven't been great, he mentioned it in the last corner,
33:21Pala Versa's off them, Clarkson's on them, we know his quality.
33:25First yellow card of the contest for Ross McCausland and a free kick for Aberdeen which Leighton Clarkson is standing over.
33:34Aberdeen hoping for some better service this time.
33:41Clarkson went for goal and found it, he caught out Liam Kelly and that goes down as some strike, some hit, Aberdeen have the lead against Rangers and that pushes Celtic closer to the finishing line.
34:06Now what a strike it is from Leighton Clarkson, he's fooled everyone, looking like he's going to cross it to that back post area and it's a wonderful strike, Liam Kelly scrambling across, gets a hand to it but he can keep it out.
34:21It's a brilliant technique from Leighton Clarkson and it needed something like that this game, plenty endeavour, maybe lacking in that but it's a better quality but that is quality all over it.
34:36Fantastic strike from Leighton Clarkson, not unlike a goal scored by James Maddison, pretty similar position in the same game.
34:46Come on, he's got that in his locker and it was executed to perfection by Leighton Clarkson.
34:56He scored against Rangers here a couple of seasons ago, he put them 2-1 up in that game but Scott Arfield scored twice in stoppage trying to win it for Rangers.
35:07We need a bit of that sort of spirit and character now.
35:12It's just how casual Clarkson is, you know he looks like he's just going to float that to the back post, steps up, whips it right into the top corner, Kelly as I said gets a touch but not enough to keep it out.
35:25Not enough to keep it out.
35:33A brilliant strike to fire up Aberdeen.
35:46So as it stands, Celtic will be confirmed as champions today.
35:52Even if Rangers draw, they'll be 15 points behind with 15 to play for.
35:57So of course it wouldn't be quite mathematically sorted although Celtic's goal difference is much, much better.
36:05Long way to go, mind, in this one.
36:08A lot of doing to go for Conor Varen.
36:12Yeah, obviously you look at the Celtic result but it's a huge result for Aberdeen if they manage to see this game out.
36:21Causland.
36:22Causland.
36:23Baren.
36:24Been well there and he opens up for a shot.
36:28It was like a hit no there as he dinked it in.
36:33If you close your eyes and you would know what happened when the ball goes to Conor Varen wouldn't you?
36:45To Nilo.
37:00Danilo, in some position himself ahead of Igeman
37:26Zinala
37:30Pabue for Nisbet, into the path of Morris
37:40Hugo Aberdeen again, and Shaden Morris strikes it wide again
37:48It's a good play, linked up with Pabue and Kevin Nisbet
37:53I'm not sure that's the option for Shaden Morris
37:56Rangers have only won eight of the last 30 premiership matches in which they conceded the first goal
38:08but they did recover recently at Dundee United, at Dundee, at Kilmarnock
38:16They love doing it the hard way
38:18or not doing it the hard way as was the case until recently
38:28Ten minutes to half time
38:30Top class strike from Leighton Clarkson, the difference for a free kick as Rangers seek a response
38:43Tavernier
38:57Uncomfortable for Austin
38:59for Austin
39:11Tavernier
39:15Curtis
39:17Mcausland
39:19Shelly
39:32Had assistance over there from Keskinen.
39:41Blanks on for Dorrington.
39:49Schinney looking to run on to this.
39:50McCausland dealt with it.
40:02How will Rangers respond to going behind?
40:06Is a question we've asked a fair bit lately.
40:132-0 and 3-1 down at Dundee.
40:16And 2-0 down at Kilmarnock.
40:19Won both games.
40:21A team with a rather different team than this one.
40:28Do it.
40:32And just now.
40:46Without one since 11 back in.
40:492018.
40:54Instant allowing Cortez in.
40:56Here's Barron.
41:06Danilo.
41:08Cortez.
41:12McCausland.
41:14First time across.
41:16Awful.
41:17He's surprised that he goes for it.
41:28But it's a brilliant strike.
41:30Catches it really well.
41:31Great power.
41:32Dip.
41:34Careless gram on a cross.
41:35Gets his hand to it but can't keep it out.
41:38And I mean he scores three kicks like James Madison.
41:42He also celebrates like him.
41:4717th goal for Aberdeen.
41:49There's been a few like that.
41:50Okay flick that on and Kesskin on.
42:04Well.
42:06Ross McCausland is going to be showing a second low card.
42:10And Rangers Day goes from bad to worse.
42:14With a makeshift team.
42:15And now with 10 men.
42:17Yeah he's had a number of fouls.
42:19McCausland.
42:20And he's been.
42:23Asked him to defend.
42:26More than he would like.
42:27More of an attacking player.
42:30I mean he can't have any complaints from me.
42:32Especially being on a yellow card.
42:33You have to recognise.
42:36You can't be making challenges like that.
42:38No chance of winning the ball.
42:41It was always going to be the outcome.
42:42And he said at the top.
42:46And we wondered what Rangers would find to do next.
42:49In this most baffling of seasons.
42:53Well here they are.
42:53Down to 10 men in the first half.
42:55At the Dodri.
42:56And facing a free kick.
42:58From Clarkson.
43:02Not sure he'll be trying it.
43:04A bit wider out this time.
43:05Yeah I don't think he's shooting from this one.
43:07Clarkson hoisting it in.
43:15Turned away by Curtis.
43:18Cortez now for Bayrami.
43:20He's turned into.
43:22But he's going to get a free kick.
43:24Rangers fans might have expected a bit more from Nadeem Bayrami.
43:41But Bayrami is one of these players you're looking and asking.
43:52What is his actual position?
43:53Where is he most effective?
43:55He's had opportunities and not been able to hit the heights.
43:58Not the only frustrating player for Rangers this season.
44:14Tavenir over there now.
44:34Towards Danilo.
44:36But that's rather hopeful.
44:37And dealt with by Nostar.
44:38And Clarkson.
44:40Keskinen.
44:41Keskinen picks it up again.
44:47Rangers a little short.
44:50Keskinen.
44:52Others waiting for a pass.
44:54Nismas furious with him.
44:56But it would be.
44:57Strikers are always mourning when the wide men come in and take a shot.
45:00It's great.
45:00Direct play again.
45:02From Keskinen.
45:03When he picks that ball up.
45:05Instead he heading.
45:06Wide.
45:06He drives inside.
45:07Committing defenders.
45:09Shinny making the overlap.
45:10The space opens up.
45:12I think it has an eight decision.
45:13He just.
45:17Ten men of Rangers.
45:19Up against it.
45:19After Todri.
45:25Shinny.
45:26Shinny.
45:50Shinny
45:52Kaskinen
45:56Kaskinen
45:58Ian Kelly
46:00chucking that one out of the air, it looked awkward
46:02for starters
46:04Rami intervenes there
46:20Cortez gave it away though
46:22on back by Clarkson
46:24nobody can hang on to it at the moment
46:30Sorted champions as it stands
46:32in third place as it stands
46:34Shaden Morris
46:36is doing Shaden Morris
46:38and Clark
46:40Gay has put it away
46:42and Aberdeen
46:46again
46:48in what's been a strange
46:50season
46:52but it looks
46:54like it might end on a high
46:56absolutely, you can go through that
46:58quiet spell Shaden Morris
47:00but just a little reminder
47:02what he brings to this Aberdeen side
47:04little touch
47:06flick down the side
47:08look at the pace
47:10gets his head up, it's good movement from Papagate
47:14and it's a really good finish
47:16but it's all in the work from Shaden Morris
47:18down this right hand side
47:20as I said, head up
47:22heads up
47:24finds Papagate
47:26who's in good position
47:28good movement
47:30and it's a cool finish
47:32Papagate
47:34Papagate
47:36with only his
47:38second goal in 13 games since returning from injury
47:40he was out for four months
47:42he actually scored
47:44six and six before his injury
47:46but he was precise with his finish there
47:48well it had to be
47:50because he's hit it exactly where Liam Kelly stood
47:52looking for what you expect
47:54good connection
47:56hit the side net
47:58and Liam Kelly's maybe looking
48:00expecting him to reverse it
48:02starts making his way over
48:04goal coming crucially
48:06just before the break as well
48:08there will be three minutes added on
48:10to this first half
48:12shilling
48:16keeping Danilo occupied
48:22getting hungry now
48:26well, not for the first time in his brief spell
48:28as Rangers manager
48:30he finds himself two goals behind
48:32he'll be able to pick the similar outcomes to the other type
48:34yeah, he will be
48:36but the man down as well as two goals down
48:40makes the task even tougher
49:10in their entire history
49:12in their entire history
49:14in their entire history
49:16it's quite clear
49:18it's quite clear
49:20Finlay Curtis
49:22taking on Shade and Morris there
49:24Finlay Curtis
49:26taking on Shade and Morris there
49:28and it stayed in
49:30and Hamza
49:32oh, now the first corner
49:34it didn't stay in
49:36and it's not going to count for Hamza Reggerman
49:38it looked out from here to be fair
49:40yeah, well, you can never tell
49:42it was great running from Finlay Curtis
49:44he's had to do a lot of defending
49:46but this is where he wants to be
49:48I mean, it...
49:50it looks like the ball goes out there
49:54assistant Malfuri
49:55on the far side
49:56has spotted it
49:58Steve McLean explaining matters to
50:26Graham Shinny
50:28I've had a look and goal kick has been confirmed by them
50:35Well the assistant's given it
50:37So unless you've got something definitive
50:40To prove that he was wrong
50:42Then you stick with the on field decision
50:44I mean it does look like it's out
50:47But again until you get that angle either above it
50:50Or right along the line
50:51You'll never tell
50:53Not had a good was it in or was it out
50:58For a few weeks
50:59This first half is drawing to a close
51:04And it has belonged to Aberdeen
51:06He's been caught by Barron
51:26Here's their time
51:29For one last sight of goal in this first half
51:32For Aberdeen
51:34No time to carry on I think
51:42Yeah
51:42It is half time
51:43And it is 2-0 to Aberdeen
51:47Leighton Clarkson with a fantastic strike
51:50Catching out Liam Kelly
51:52Top corner top class
51:53And then Shaden Morris
51:54Superbly setting up
51:56Pat Gay
51:57For a second
51:58And in between
51:59This makeshift Rangers team
52:01Went down to ten men
52:02Ross McCausland
52:04With a second yellow
52:05That equaled red
52:06It's 2-0 to the Reds here
