Aberdeen 0-1 Rangers
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes makes a change, throwing on an extra striker.
Stevie May replaces Stephen Gleeson, who has been pretty anonymous in the Dons midfield.

Aberdeen 0-1 Rangers
Rangers' 10 men threaten with another simple ball over the top.
James Tavernier's pass finds Jamie Murphy racing behind the defence but is driven wide by out-rushing goalkeeper Joe Lewis.
With Lewis stranded, Murphy's cross has the Dons defence in all kind of bother, but the ball is eventually scrambled clear.
KICK-OFFpublished at 14:02 British Summer Time 5 August 2018
Aberdeen 0-1 Rangers
Rangers get the second half under way. Can anything a no-doubt angry Derek McInnes has said at half-time bring an improvement in the home side?

HT: Aberdeen 0-1 Rangers
Gordon Smith
Former Rangers striker on BBC Radio 5 liveI think it was stupid, but it was retaliation to a certain extent. He hardly made any contact. It was very, very soft. The penalty was soft as well. I don't think there was much contact at all.
HALF-TIME Aberdeen 0-1 Rangerspublished at 13:46 British Summer Time 5 August 2018
Chris McLaughlin
BBC Sport Scotland at PittodrieDerek McInnes heads up the tunnel absolutely furious that his players have been second best to a Rangers side who played most of that first half with 10 men.
The visitors have looked sharper and slicker all across the pitch.
Steven Gerrard simply refused to sit back after the loss of Morelos and, so far, it’s paying off.
Huge effort needed from the Dons in the second half.

Aberdeen at last find a bit of space down their left-wing and Niall McGinn's cross curls dangerously towards goal before goalkeeper Allan McGregor claws it wide.
From the corner, Sam Cosgrove heads wastefully over from 10 yards.

The officials are getting a bit of stick again as Lewis Ferguson appears to be pulled down by Nikola Katic as the Aberdeen nicks behind the Croatian defender.
But a goal kick is given instead of what could have been a free-kick in a dangerous position just outside the penalty box.

Gordon Smith
Former Rangers striker on BBC Radio 5 liveI can't think of a single chance Aberdeen have had. Half an hour gone and they haven't created anything at all. Derek McInnes will not be happy, especially given the fact his team are at home and playing a team who are down to 10 men.
