Predicted Rangers lineup vs Aberdeen

Rangers take on Aberdeen on Sunday, looking to continue recent good form.
As things stand, the Gers are eight points clear of the third-placed Dons. Therefore, a win would secure second spot with three games to spare.

Given the current run of three consecutive wins, it’s unlikely Steven Gerrard will make many changes in terms of personnel.
However, he does need to work out a formula which will best Derek McInnes. Aberdeen have beaten the Gers three times in Glasgow already this season. That’s a frankly embarrassing statistic and the rot must be stopped.

Alfredo Morelos will miss out as he serves the final game of his four-match suspension.
However, fan favourite Ryan Kent is once again available and should return.
Daniel Candeias, who has made an impressive 48 appearances this season, is most likely to make way. Consequently, Scott Arfield, who has been playing in a fluid role behind the striker, would shift over to operate mainly from the right side.

That may well be the only alteration to the starting XI.
After being named in the SPFL Team of the Week for his display at Hearts, Jon Flanagan should keep his spot at left-back, while it looks unlikely that Glenn Middleton will get a start, despite another impressive showing for the reserves on Tuesday.
