Aberdeen 0-1 Rangers
That was a close shave for Rangers! An Aberdeen corner causes a stooshie in the six yard box as Scott McKenna and Lewis Ferguson try to force the ball over the line. But Allan McGregor had the ball in two hands, and as a result get a free-kick.
Leon Balogun has been hurt in the melee but gets to his feet after some treatment.

We're away again. What do we think?
Thumbs up if you think Rangers will hold on, thumbs down if Aberdeen get back into it.

After spending the first 20 minutes urging his players on from the edge of the technical area, Derek McInnes has spent the majority of his time since then sitting in the dugout. Much to ponder.

I think Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes will be very unhappy with just their attitude and the fact that they're allowing Rangers to dominate

Ryan Kent's calm finish midway through the half is what separates the sides.

There's the first booking as Funso Ojo goes in late on Ianis Hagi. Pure frustration that one.

Not much happening! Aberdeen had a decent spell of possession but couldn't create anything.
Rangers are pretty comfortable.
