When Ryan Jack was an Aberdeen player there was no bigger game than when Rangers came to town. And he’s convinced that it’s no different now for the current crop at Pittodrie.
So when Jack returns to the Granite City again on Tuesday, he’ll be under no illusions about what’s required to leave with three points. It will be Michael Beale’s first trip north as Gers boss and – even this early in his Ibrox tenure – he can’t afford any slip-ups.
His side currently sit nine points behind Celtic at the top of the Premiership table and if anything is dropped against the Dons there will surely be no way back. Beale will rely on an experienced head like Jack, who spent seven years at Aberdeen before moving to Glasgow in 2017. The Scotland midfielder will get his usual abuse from the home fans on Tuesday night but insists he thrives on the fixture.
