Jermain Defoe came on to seal win for Rangers.
Rangers striker Jermain Defoe came off the bench to seal a win for the Gers.
Defoe grabbed Rangers’ fourth goal on a counter attack, scoring his one and only chance with the game poised at 3-2.
Rangers’ 4-2 win was the Gers’ first win over Aberdeen this season at their fourth attempt.
It was Defoe’s third goal for Rangers in five appearances.
Former Rangers star Alex Rae gave his reaction to Defoe’s goal and Rangers win on Twitter.
Rangers’ win kept them in touch with Celtic in the title race, who won again themselves.
The gap is at six points, but last night’s fixture was a major banana skin which Rangers successfully avoided.
The victory should be a big confidence boost, showing the team can win big games away from home.
