00:00
An enormous night at Petaudry Stadium in the North East where Aberdeen have defeated Rangers
00:07
by two goals to one and they continue their incredible march in the Scottish Premiership.
00:14
They're still level at the top of the Celtic but after this win over their bitter rivals
00:18
they are currently nine points clear of the Ibrox side plunging Philippe Clement and his
00:24
players into further peril. It was a deserved win for Aberdeen, they were dominant in the
00:29
first half, got their goal just after the half-hour mark from Nicky Devlin, actually
00:35
missed a penalty through Jamie McGrath to make it 2-0, that would have probably ended
00:39
the game as a contest. Rangers recovered a little bit in the second half, they didn't
00:43
buzz Rami, netted a very good goal but you never felt like they were going to really
00:47
take control of the match and Aberdeen got their winner on 74 minutes. Sheetan Morris
00:52
hammering home from close range after Nicky Devlin's shot had hit the post. This place,
00:58
the belief, the incredible atmosphere, Aberdeen are going places. Conversely for Rangers,
01:05
a desperate situation, their financial figures so bleak, £70 million in the red, they came
01:11
out and said on Tuesday and on Wednesday they were left seeing red by this really vivacious
01:16
and attack-minded Aberdeen team. You feel that Clement, the Belgian manager, is under
01:20
severe pressure now but the problem is with Rangers in such dire straits, off the pitch,
01:25
can they actually afford to make a change on it? They played mother well in the Premier
01:29
Sports Cup on Sunday in the semi-finals, they simply have to win that match to try and alleviate
01:35
some of the searing heat that is now on their manager. You have to say that Clement really
01:42
isn't getting a tune out of the team right now, there's no consistency on this Rangers
01:45
side and they're lacking in quality. They're nine points off the title race, Clement still
01:51
believes he can do it, still believes he can come back, he was bullish in his post-match
01:55
press conference but ultimately it's hard to argue with the bold facts that Rangers
02:00
are nine points behind both the Dons and Celtic and it's going to take a gargantuan effort
02:04
to bridge that gap. It felt like a seismic evening here, a petardry for both sides, one
02:09
is going in an upward trajectory and the other is going very much in the opposite direction.
02:12
It finished Aberdeen 2, Rangers 1.
