The Union Bears protested against the Rangers board by heading for the exits on the 55th-minute at the weekend.
But the walkout didn’t go down well with the vast majority of the Ibrox support as the Gers ultras were booed out of the stadium. The Light Blues faithful have made it clear that they are deeply unhappy at the current state of the club, with Philippe Clement living on a week-to-week basis as he clings onto his job. However, the vast majority of fans clearly feel there are other ways to get their point across rather than turning their back on the team. Some punters didn’t bother turning up at all, with plenty of empty seats on show as Gers overcame St Johnstone 3-1 on Sunday.
Given the rivalry between Rangers and Aberdeen, though, you’d expect punters to return in big numbers on Wednesday as the Dons rock up to Govan aiming to end their dismal 11-game winless streak. Jimmy Thelin’s men pulled off a memorable 2-1 win at Pittodrie back in October to soar nine clear of their bitter Glasgow rivals – but the Reds’ form has plummeted and they now find themselves the exact same points adrift of second in fourth. It’s fair to say there’s no love lost between both of these clubs and here, Record Sport tells you everything you need to know ahead of the box-office Scottish Premiership showdown.

Team news
Captain James Tavernier, John Souttar and Jack Butland all remain sidelined for Rangers. It remains to be seen when Dujon Sterling and Leon Balogun will be available. Danilo could be a doubt after hobbling off in the final minutes of Sunday’s win over St Johnstone. On-loan Feyenoord defender Neraysho Kasanwirjo has been ruled out for the season.
Aberdeen will be without Gavin Molloy and Ester Sokler for the foreseeable future. Injured quartet Pape Gueye, Vicente Besuijen, Jack Milne and Dimitar Mitov all remain out of action, while Gavin Molloy requires shoulder surgery and is unlikely to return until the final few weeks of the campaign.
