Aberdeen comes to Ibrox
By: j | November 21st, 2008Rangers face a very tough challenge as Aberdeen comes to Ibrox Saturday afternoon. While the Dons manager Jimmy Calderwod is aware the problems the club has had at Ibrox, they won’t back down:
“I think it has been 17 years without a win there but there are many teams who have not won at Ibrox for 50 years. It has been a long, long wait but hopefully Saturday will be the day we get that win.”
Aberdeen chances could be hampered with sharpshooter Darren Mackie doubtful and facing a pre-match. If injured he will join Tommy Wright, Jamie Smith, Bertrand Bossu and Stuart Duff who are all out. They possess a wealth of talent including Lee Miller, Charlie Mulgrew and young gun Chris Maguire, who fills every supporter of Scottish Football with hope and make anyone an Aberdeen fan.
Walter Smith knows he can’t look ahead of Aberdeen:
“They give us difficult games at Ibrox. I do think Aberdeen raise their game against us there’s no doubt about that. Tomorrow’s game is a big one for us. We’ve had a few midweek games recently and then when we do have a break the players disappear on international duty. But we have decent home form and we would hope to keep that going. Aberdeen’s form away from home has been good and I think they have more points on the road than they do at home.”
Rangers will be missing Kenny Miller, Saša Papac, Madjid Bougherra to injury and Steven Davis is expected out due to family issues.
I will report on the match as it concludes.
