Aberdeen vs Rangers in Doubt as Met Office Releases New Warning Amid Postponement Fears
It will be the second meeting between the two sides in the space of six days, with Rangers beating Aberdeen 2-0 at Ibrox on Tuesday.
Rangers and Aberdeen played under a Met Office weather warning that evening, as goals from Emmanuel Fernandez and Nicolas Raskin made it four wins on the bounce for Danny Rohl‘s side.
Dujon Sterling, Connor Barron and Mikey Moore are injury doubts heading into Sunday’s clash, but Rohl looks set to be handed a major boost to his matchday squad at Pittodrie.
Tuur Rommens and Tochi Chukwuani are expected to travel with Rangers up to Aberdeen, as the Gers make their first big transfer breakthroughs of the winter window.
Aberdeen set for miserable wintery conditions this weekend
With Storm Goretti currently battering the UK, most games of football taking place this weekend won’t be spared from the elements.
That’s no different in Aberdeen either, with the Met Office putting a yellow warning for snow and ice across practically the whole of Scotland, and also covering the vast majority of northern England all the way down towards the Midlands.
Therefore, Rangers and Aberdeen will be battling more than just one another on the Pittodrie pitch this Sunday, as the rain, wind and potentially snow all look ready to play a major part in the match.
However, the fixture doesn’t appear to be in any major risk of postponement at this stage.
Conditions are far from ideal, but the warning has not yet been upgraded to amber or indeed red. Supporters are advised to check regularly for updates, though.
