Rangers have demonstrated a formidable home record, having lost only once in their first home league game over the past four decades, a defeat to Celtic in 2011. This remarkable run includes 33 wins and six draws. Historically, when their first league match of the year has been against Aberdeen, Rangers have been victorious on all five occasions, achieving each win without conceding a goal.
In their recent encounters, Rangers have maintained strong control over Aberdeen, winning seven out of their last eight home games against them across all competitions. Their most recent encounter saw Rangers claim a decisive victory, further building on their success with four consecutive wins after a setback against Aberdeen in September 2023.
Aberdeen’s performance against Rangers has been less favorable, with only one victory in their last six league meetings resulting in two draws and three losses. Should Aberdeen fall to Rangers again, it would mark their first back-to-back defeats against them in the Scottish Premiership since December 2022.
Rangers’ home form has notably improved in the current season, recovering from a shaky start with only two wins in their first seven home league games (alongside four draws and a loss) to claim three consecutive victories at Ibrox. This resurgence positions Rangers as a formidable opponent as they continue to build momentum in their campaign.
