Former Rangers star Alex Rae believes the Gers will need to come up with a plan for Aberdeen striker Sam Cosgrove when the two sides meet at Pittodrie on Wednesday night.
The Dons ace has scored 12 times in 28 appearances this season and Rae believes he’ll be a big threat to Steven Gerrard’s side.

Eight weeks ago you would have said: ‘They’ll be looking to replace him in January’. But he has been one of the most prolific strikers in the country in the past two months.
“Rangers will have to cope with his physical threat to win on Wednesday. He is very dangerous in the air.”
With the Light Blues desperate to stay within touching distance of Celtic at the top of the table, a win at Pittodrie is crucial.
Cosgrove was sent off last time the two sides met and has yet to hit the net against the Gers.
That could see Nikola Katic and Joe Worrall continue in defence and coming up against Cosgrove will be a good test for the pair.
