Rangers snatched a narrow 1-0 win over St Mirren on Sunday afternoon, and now press ahead into a huge week for the club.

They take on Legia Warsaw in their final Europa League qualifying game on Thursday evening, with the tie finely poised at 0-0, and then it’s the Old Firm derby next Sunday.

Steven Gerrard will be looking for a positive couple of results, and hopefully a push for the title this season after a strong pre-season.

Former Rangers ace Graham Roberts has now offered his view on Gerrard’s side, praising the Gers boss – but also highlighting one problem.

As quoted by the Daily Record, Roberts suggested that Rangers will have problems against Aberdeen, because they try harder against them than they do against Celtic.

Roberts believes Aberdeen ‘roll over’ for Celtic but battle hard against Rangers, as the Dons picked up three wins over Gerrard’s side in all competitions last season.

Pundit Chris Sutton has now unsurprisingly chimed in, mocking Rangers by highlighting Gerrard’s comments from last season, in which he told Sky Sports that Rangers were a ‘class above’ Aberdeen.

Sutton hasn’t forgotten about those comments, and has now brought them back up to suggest that Rangers shouldn’t be worried about Aberdeen if they’re as far ahead of them as Gerrard claimed a year ago.
