Philippe Clement’s side fell to a 3-0 defeat at Celtic on Sunday with Sky Sports’ Kris Boyd stating his former club can “forget” their Old Firm rivals, believing the Gers are “in a battle to finish second”.While the Rangers fans are fed up, there is delight for the Dons who are on a nine-game winning run under the new manager and are level with the Hoops at the top of the table.Clement regularly stressed the potential he can see in his squad but after their defeat to Celtic he admitted they need to “improve a lot of things”.
- Aberdeen last split the Old Firm in the 2017/18 campaign, when they finished ahead of Rangers for a second season running. Do they have enough to do it again this season?They eased through the League Cup group stages before beating Queen’s Park to reach the last 16 and they have scored eight goals across four wins in the league.
There were concerns they would miss the attacking threat of Bojan Miovski following his departure for Girona, but a tweak in playing style means the goals are coming from other areas too.
