Aberdeen chairman Stuart Milne has been speaking to BBC Scotland about the week that was and the interest Rangers showed in Dons manager Derek McInnes.

David Robertson: AFC, its chairman and manager have shown class throughout this nonsense. This whole debacle has at least resulted in the players, the fans the manager, the chairman and the board showing a united front.

Kenny Mitchell:This whole saga could have been put to bed if McInnes had announced he wasn't interested in the Rangers job. He never did that.

Dean Ramsey: Well said Mr Milne, you truly have stepped up again and done exactly what was needed.

Coming into this match after back-to-back wins over Aberdeen, interim Ibrox manager Graeme Murty is desperate to kick on.

Speaking to Rangers TV, he said: “We need to keep our standards high and we want as many of our best players in the squad as possible.

“We respect Ross County, we’ll match their energy and organisation, but we have to hold ourselves to our own standards.

“I’ve said to the players, they have set the benchmark, they’ve shown the quality they can play and the tempo they can play at, it’s up to them to go out and show it today.

“I’m looking for that attitude to go and dictate the game, regardless of who we play against.”

Aberdeen chairman Stewart Milne has criticised Rangers' statement after Dons boss Derek McInnes rejected an approach to be the Ibrox club's new manager.

Rangers implied that McInnes lacked ambition by his decision.

"I don't think the statement they came out with was befitting of a club like Rangers," he said.

"The other thing that surprised me - when an important statement comes out from a club like Rangers, it should have ownership.

"That shoud have been a statement from somebody with power and authority.

"Nobody attached their name to that statement, which was very disappointing."

More on this story to come.

Rangers interim manager Graeme Murty makes two changes following last weekend's 2-1 win over Aberdeen.

Ali Crawford is still to make his return from the knee injury that has kept him out since late September.

Striker Steven MacLean's previous knee problems means he will not play on Hamilton's artificial surface.

Graham Cummins drops to the bench, as Michael O'Halloran and youngster Callum Hendry start.

O'Halloran and Foster obviously had no trouble getting to kick-off on time this week after being delayed by a road traffic accident last weekend. No doubt they were on the team bus with plenty time to spare this morning.

Former West Bromwich Albion midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu makes his Kilmarnock debut against Partick Thistle after working on his fitness. Dom Thomas drops to the bench to make way for the 30-year-old Congo international.

It will be intriguing to see if more is said from the Rangers camp today before or after the match against Ross County over Derek McInnes' rejection of their approach.

Caretaker Graeme Murty will again be in charge and admits he would find it hard to turn down the job if he was offered it permanently.

With four wins from six games in his current spell in interim charge, he is certainly doing his cause no harm and it will be improved further if Rangers beat County to overtake Aberdeen again and move into second place in the Premiership.

The club's statement, which questioned McInnes' ambition, has been widely criticised - even by their more ardent fans, as Tom English has highlighted.

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes says he rejected an approach from Rangers because he did not want to "tarnish relationships" he had built up at Pittodrie.

Meanwhile, Dundee manager Neil McCann thinks his side didn't deserve to lose 1-0 at Dens Park last night and laughs off a head-to-head confrontation with Aberdeen assistant Tony Docherty.

With the shadow of Derek McInnes' possible departure lifted from their shoulders, Aberdeen last night recovered from two defeats by his suitors, Rangers, with a win over Dundee.

Scotland Under-21 centre-half Scott McKenna scored the only goal of the game at Dens Park - his first for the Pittodrie club - to secure the three points that lift the Dons back into second place in the Premiership ahead of Rangers.

It reduces Celtic's lead at the top to four points ahead of the reigning champions' game against Hibernian tomorrow.

The Championship game between Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Falkirk was first to be called off because of freezing temparatures.

After yesterday's postponement, it was rescheduled for Tuesday evening.

Dumbarton v Livingston followed after a morning pitch inspection, but Brechin City v St Mirren survived after Glebe Park was passed fit.

In League One, Albion Rovers v Arbroath bit the dust.

New League Two leaders Peterhead have been denied the chance to extend their lead at home to Clyde, while Stirling Albion's game against bottom side Cowdenbeath has also been postponed.
