Rangers are off to Aberdeen with the chance of cutting the gap back on Celtic to ten points.
Michael Beale's side have only lost to their rivals since his he joined the club late last year. It was a quite unbelievable affair the last time Rangers met the Dons at Pittodrie with Scott Arfield proving to be the hero off the bench after a then Jim Goodwin side looked set to beat the Glasgow outfit.
This time the Light Blues are on a good run but face a few key injury issues with the likes of star men Connor Goldson and Ryan Kent not featuring in the North East but should make it in time for next weekend's Hampden showdown.
He said ahead of the game: "It was remembered for Scott Arfield and the last couple of minutes. Scott gave us a reminder of that last week as well, arriving late in the penalty box, and he's made his career on that.
"The games up at Pittodrie are always feisty. Barry [Robson] has went in at a difficult time and done really well, and now all of a sudden they find themselves at a place that they wanted to be at the start of the season.
"They're in third place and that European place seems that it's in their hands now, and obviously with six league games left they'll want to finish strongly. Barry has been behind the scenes at the club for a long time. He knows the league, the squad and the club inside-out.
"I think it'll be a good game, second versus third. We always seem to be going to play the in-form team when we go away from home at the moment, but our away form has been really strong. I'm looking forward to the trip and I think it'll be a good game."
Rangers starting XI: McGregor, Tavernier, Davies, Souttar, Barisic, Raskin, Lundstram, Cantwell, Tillman, Sakala, Morelos
Subs: McLaughlin, Hagi, Yilmaz, King, Matondo, Kamara, Arfield, Lovelace, Rice
