Rangers FC v St. Mirren FC - Cinch Scottish Premiership — Rangers host Aberdeen on Sunday.

Rangers welcome Aberdeen to the Ibrox for a Scottish Premiership fixture on Sunday (May 7).

The hosts are coming off a 1-0 defeat against Celtic in the Scottish Cup semifinals last weekend. Jota's 42nd-minute goal settled the contest between the Old Firm rivals and helped the Hoops book their spot in the final against Inverness.

Aberdeen, meanwhile, have not been in action since claiming maximum points in a 2-0 home win over Rangers in the final game of the regular season a fortnight ago. Liam Scales and Bojan Miovski scored second-half goals to inspire the win.

The victory meant the Dons ended the regular season in third spot, having garnered 53 points from 33 games. Rangers, meanwhile, finished the regular season in second place, 13 points behind runaway leaders Celtic.

Rangers vs Aberdeen Prediction

Rangers suffered a harrowing defeat to Celtic in the cup semifinal, which was their third defeat to their arch-rivals in two months. It also meant the Gers will end the season trophyless.

Aberdeen, for their part, have been on a positive run of form, with a seven-game winning streak putting them in a confident mood heading into this game. They also ended the regular season with a win over Rangers two weeks ago, their first over the capital side in 15 games.

This win could give Barry Robson's side the confidence that they could get a positive result, but the hosts should claim a narrow win.

Prediction: Rangers 2-1 Aberdeen
