Aberdeen keep pace with Celtic at top and plunge Rangers into further crisis

Rangers crisis deepened as a 2-1 defeat at Aberdeen left them nine points behind Celtic. The Dons at the top of the William Hill Premiership.

Dons full-back Nicky Devlin fired in a opener at Pittodrie. After 31 minutes before Gers keeper Jack Butland saved a Jamie McGrath penalty six minutes from the interval as Jimmy Thelin’s side dominated.

The lethargic Light Blues responded after the break and ทางเข้า ufabet wide-man Nedim Bajrami levelled in the 63rd minute with a fine solo goal only for second-half substitute Shayden Morris to fire in from close range 11 minutes later to heap more pressure on Gers boss Philippe Clement.

In contrast, Thelin is now unbeaten in 16 games since taking over as Aberdeen boss in the summer, winning 15 of those.

The Ibrox club is in turmoil with no permanent chairman.

Belgian boss Clement has to limp on under the weight of negativity. Which surrounds him, the team and the club. Rangers’ title hopes have surely gone beyond forlorn.

Clement dealt another injury with winger Vaclav Cerny. Who had scored five goals in four games. Out through injury, replace by Ross McCausland with skipper James Tavernier, John Souttar, Tom Lawrence and Cyriel Dessers returning.

Connor Barron return to Pittodrie for the first time. Since leaving in the summer to join the Govan outfit – and inevitably. He was booed loudly throughout.

Thelin’s only change was the return of captain Graeme Shinnie. Who over from Ante Palaversa. After a dramatic pre-match firework display, frantic football followed from referee John Beaton’s first whistle.
