Rangers boss says poor results against Aberdeen not all down to his players.

Steven Gerrard, Manager of Rangers arrives prior to the Ladbrokes Premiership match between Livingston and Rangers at Tony Macaroni Arena on January 27, 2019 in Livingston, United Kingdom.

Glasgow Rangers face Aberdeen this week, with Steven Gerrard looking to get one over on the Dons.

Rangers lost to Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup semi-final, before losing again at Ibrox in December.

Earlier in the season Rangers drew 1-1 at Pittodrie, and they have scored just two goals in three games against tonight’s opponents.

As Gerrard tries at his fourth attempt to beat Aberdeen, he sought to give credit.

Rangers have wasted opportunities in the previous three ties, but Gerrard was careful not to put the failings all on his own players.

He told the club’s website: “We have to be productive in the final third because we have been guilty of missing chances.

“To be fair to Joe Lewis, he has made some really good saves against us in previous games.”

Former England under-21 international Lewis is in his third season at Aberdeen and has been on the wrong end of defeats against Rangers in previous seasons.

Rangers are hoping for the same this evening, but it won’t be an easy visit to Pittodrie.
