Rangers player ratings vs Aberdeen as Michael Beale suffers pre-Celtic defeat in Pittodrie misfire

Rangers go in to next weekend's Scottish Cup semi-final with Celtic off the back of a numbing 2-0 defeat to Aberdeen.

It was a frantic start with both sides trying to calm the game down with possession. Alfredo Morelos went closest in the opening stages when his volley on the turn was cleared off the line before Fashion Sakala set himself free with a run at goal but could only fire straight at the Dons keeper. Rangers threatened more and more as the half wore on but Aberdeen did carry a threat.

The second half brought more back and forth before on-loan Celtic man Liam Scales produced a worldy of a goal to open the scoring, with the ball sailing over Allan McGregor and in to the top corner from 30 yards or more. It went from bad to worse for Michael Beale's side when Bojan Miovski fired a diving header at the back post that was proved to be onside as Aberdeen moved in to top gear. James Tavernier had a flash chance that was well saved by Kelle Roos before Rabbi Matondo skewered his shot wide.
