The Michael Beale era at Ibrox has kicked off with two wind from two games, but it wasn't exactly plain sailing as the Light Blues had to come from behind twice, and they left it mighty late against Aberdeen.
Scott Arfield struck twice with two injury-time goals securing a dramatic 3-2 victory over the Dons, but Celtic duly re-established their nine point lead 24 hours later with a 2-1 home victory over Livingston.. Beale's boys have the chance to cut the gap on the Scottish Premiership pacesetters to six points if they can seal their third consecutive win under the new boss against the Staggies.
Malky Mackay is in desperate need of points for very different reasons and will be hoping for an early Christmas present with the Highland side battling for survival at the foot of the table and sitting level on points with struggling Kilmarnock in the relegation playoff spot. Dingwall has proven to be a difficult venue for countless sides, and Rangers won't be handed a warm welcome in the ice-cold conditions.
