    • 90+2' All over at Ibrox! Not the most convincing of performances, but Rangers get the job done.
    • 90+1' GOAL!! Naismith slips the ball home after Gonzalez saves from Davis. The keeper couldn't hold it. Poor goalkeeping really. Game over now.
    • 89' Two minutes to be added to the match.
    • 88' Decent passing by the Dons, but Chalali just strays offside. Really nice play by the visitors before Considine fouls Jelavic.
    • 87' Rangers look like they will be happy to collect the three points here. Sitting deeper and deeper. Aberdeen continue on the attack.
    • 86' Perry knocks the ball down for Whittaker. Bedoya looks for Jelavic, but he heads over the bar. Still the home side can't find the second goal.
    • 85' Bedoya gets a shot at goal, but wide of the target. A lot of empty seats in and around Ibrox.
    • 84' Foster goes at Bedoya, but the cross is very poor as the ball flies out of play. Dons still searching for this equaliser.
    • 83' Arnason can't control the ball in the Rangers half before Whittaker clears.
    • 82' Bocanegra tries to pick out Wylde, but it is a poor ball out of defence. Another move breaks down for the home team.
    • 81' Foster knocks the ball back to Arnason. Aberdeen continue to keep the ball well, but they remain 1-0 behind.
    • 80' Davis on the ball. Finds Whittaker. Wyle then picks up, but Mawene cuts out the cross ball.
    • 79' Magennis throws a lovely ball across goal, but no takers for Aberdeen. Great ball in, but nobody read Magennis's pass.
    • 78' Osbourne picks out Fyvie before the ball ends up back with Foster. Wylde then back defending for Rangers. All hands to the pump at the moment for the home side.
    • 77' A booking for Naismith as he takes out Arnason with a late challenge.
    • 76' Whittaker inside to Davis. He tries the reverse pass, but can't pick out Jelavic. Aberdeen can pick up.

    • 74' McArdle is going to leave the action with Mohamed Chalali brought on for the Dons.
    • 73' Naismith lets the ball run into the path of Bedoya, but he slaims the ball wide of goal. Chance for a dream debut.

    • 71' Wylde crosses the ball to the back post. Whittaker looks up, but Aberdeen can break.

    • 63' Aberdeen continue on the offensive. McArdle swings in the cross, but Whittaker is there to make the clearance.
    • 62' Good cross from Wylde. Picks out Lafferty, but his header loops up in the air before Gonzalez collects.
    • 61' Pawlett is a bit of nuisance for Rangers. The Dons trying to load up on Broadfoot out wide.
    • 60' McGregor launches the ball up towards Jelavic before Davis picks up. Edu then pulls a shot a yard wide of goal. Fine effort from the American.
    • 59' Aberdeen really going for it, but Rangers hit on the break as Davis overhits the pass to Jelavic. McArdle tidies up to roll the ball back to Gonzalez.
    • 58' Dons back on the attack. Whittaker forced to head out the cross from Pawlett with Milsom lurking.
    • 57' Vernon then with a shot from distance. Breaks off McGregor, but Foster hits the bar. The Dons spurn a golden chance to equalise. Eight yards out, but Foster hits the woodwork.
    • 56' Pawlett keeps the ball in before he lays it back to McArdle. Fine stop by McGregor as the ball broke of Bocanegra! Almost the equaliser.
    • 55' Davis picks out Edu before Jelavic knocks the shot wide of the goal. Decent effort, but no goal. Rangers continue to sit on this 1-0 lead.

    • 53' Balls spins off Foster and Rangers earn a corner.
    • 52' Pawlett goes for goal, but strikes the back of Bocanegra. The Dons enjoying their best moments of this match at the moment.
    • 51' Whittaker launches the ball 60 yards. Almost skidded off the surface and over the visiting keeper Gonzalez. Dangerous moments there.
    • 50' Arnason goes for goal, but wide of the target. Plenty of power, but fails to hit the target as the home side survive that scare.
    • 49' Fyvie grounded by Perry and the Dons have a free-kick. Chance to pose a few questions of Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor here.
    • 48' Aberdeen back on the ball with Foster. Davis then with a low ball forward. High ball from Wylde, but it hits the bar and bounces over. Almost a second for Rangers.
    • 47' Chance for Aberdeen after Bocanegra and Perry blunder, but Vernon can't go past McGregor and the chance is lost. Glorious chance for the leveller.
    • 46' We are off and running in this second period.
    • 45+2' Change for Rangers as Whittaker is brought on for the injured Goian. There goes the whistle for the break. The home side lead 1-0.
    • 44' Two minutes to be added to the half.
    • 43' We are heading for the break with Rangers yet to put this match to bed. Nice play involving Arneson and Osbourne. Naismith not moving freely.
    • 42' Mawene in to make the challenge on Edu before he is wide with a header from Wylde's cross seconds later. The American would have loved a goal there.
    • 41' Aberdeen with 53% of possession to Rangers 47%. Can't complain about not seeing enough of the ball. Just a question of whether or not they can find a goal.
    • 40' Fyvie and Arnason on the ball for Aberdeen. Milsom goes for goal, but he pulls that shot wide of the target.
    • 39' Poor header out by Mawene, but Rangers can't take advantage of that slip as Naismith drills in a shot that is wide of target.
    • 38' Ball breaks to Jelavic, but can only drag the shot into the sidenetting. Poor finish from a man of his class.
    • 37' Edu takes a poor touch as Foster picks up. The home fans none too pleased with Edu. Vernon caught offside for the Dons seconds later.
    • 36' Fyvie seems to have extra space, but Wylde gets the ball away. Aberdeen passing the ball a lot better.
    • 35' Goian knocks the ball back to McGregor in the home goal. Rangers continue with this sluggish passing game.
    • 34' Bocanegra fouls Jack and the Dons have a free-kick in their own half. Wylde on the ball for Rangers, but the cross was poor. Was a great chance, but the final pass wasn't there.
    • 33' Arnason on his left foot for Aberdeen, but smacks the shot wide of goal from 25 yards. Good hit, and better play from the Dons.
    • 32' McArdle with the ball deep in the home half, but the delivery is poor. Nobody on the end of it as Broadfoot lets it go.
    • 31' Wylde with the corner, but Goian heads over the bar. Good effort as he rose above Considine, but just missed the target.
    • 30' Goian seems to foul Fyvie, but nothing doing there as the referee waves play on.
    • 29' Foster out to Milsom. Not too much space to work in there. Rangers continue to hold on to that 1-0 advantage. Considine fouls Jelavic and the home side have a free-kick around the halfway line.
    • 28' Ranger boss Ally McCoist comes down from the stands to join his coaching staff in the technical area.
    • 27' Wylde guilty of a poor first touch as a home move breaks down. Naismith in a spot of bother here. Fyvie has also taken a dull one.
    • 26' Mawene looks up from the back before Considine overhits an attempted pass. Ball out of play and the home team have a goalkick.
    • 25' Aberdeen trail 1-0. Rangers retreat deeper to pick up and more treatment is going to be needed here for Considine.
    • 24' Lafferty sees a shot blocked by Mawene. Both teams not exactly injecting a lot of pace as Lafferty is penalised for fouling McArdle.
    • 23' Aberdeen's Fyvie looks for Jack, but Bocanegra is quickly in there to win the ball. Aberdeen lacking any real purpose.
    • 22' Osbourne, Arnason and Mawene combine for Aberdeen, but the move is lacking any real direction as Rangers retrieve possession.
    • 21' Smart defending by Bocanegra to get the ball out of the park. Taking no chances.
    • 20' Milsom and Fyvie combine before Broadfoot makes the tackle for Rangers. Wylde delivers a curling ball, but Foster gets the header out.
    • 19' The home fans in party mood. Always a bit of needle traditionally between these two clubs.
    • 18' Broadfoot knocks a high ball forward, but all a bit aimless and Aberdeen pick up at the back with Jack.
    • 17' Rangers on the board. Aberdeen undone by the quality of the home side. Vital that Aberdeen don't lose another one now.
    • 16' GOAL!! Davis steers the ball low into the corner of the net. Came from nothing, but nice play by Jelavic to play him in.
    • 15' Vernon looks for Jack to make the run, but he can't find his companion. We remain at 0-0. All to play for. Aberdeen will be happy to have avoided conceded.
    • 14' Jelavic heads into the path of Laffery, but he lifts the shot over the bar from 18 yards. Almost the opener for the home side.
    • 13' Rangers not really up to any great speed. Making life difficult for themselves as Osbourne is penalised for using a high boot.
    • 12' Jack passes the ball straight to Wylde, but he smacks an effort well wide of the goal. Great chance for Rangers, but no goal.
    • 11' Osbourne is back on the touchline and he is back on the park. No major problems for Aberdeen as they survive for eight minutes minus a man.
    • 10' McGregor flicks the ball out to Goian. Dons still down to 10 men at the moment. A few Aberdeen players not too happy.
    • 9' Fine pass by McArdle looking for Vernon, but that is smart play by Perry to keep him away from the ball as McGregor has it.
    • 8' Osbourne remains off the park. Think he is getting stitches as the Dons continue with 10 men for the moment.
    • 7' Lovely play by Wylde. Great cross before Jack is forced to hack the ball clear. Davis with the corner, but Goian is penalised for a bit of pushing in the box.
    • 6' Davis drops back to pick up before he picks out Broadfoot. Goian dinks the ball up the park, but met by Mawene.
    • 5' Naismith picks up for Rangers before Milsom tackles Lafferty, whose shote is blocked by Mawene. Rangers really needing to pick up the tempo out there. All a bit slow.
    • 4' Considine flights the ball up to Vernon before McGregor picks up in the home goal for Rangers.
    • 3' Osbourne needing a bit of treatment after he was caught by Edu. A head knock.
    • 2' Edu heads the ball on, but met by Foster. Naismith and Jack battle for the loose ball. Good tackle then by Arnason.
    • 1' We are off and running at Ibrox.
    • 14.55 New Rangers signing Alejandro Bedoya is on the substitutes' bench with fellow American Carlos Bocanegra moving to left-back to replace Lee Wallace. Aberdeen welcome back Rob Milsom with Kari Arnason and Isaac Osbourne in central midfield.
