'Every time you play Rangers, it is a difficult game' - Robinson

Aberdeen head coach Stephen Robinson has expressed his belief that his team will need to be at their best to defeat Rangers at Pittodrie on Sunday, despite the visitors' challenging start to the season. Aberdeen, who have only lost one of their seven games, are under pressure following a poor run of results, including their elimination from the Conference League by Jablonec on Thursday.

Robinson emphasized the importance of focusing on themselves and bringing their best to the game. He reiterated that every time Aberdeen plays Rangers, it is a difficult match, regardless of the stage of the season or Rangers' current results. Aberdeen's solid start to the season, coupled with the fact they had a postponed game against Motherwell due to European commitments, should keep them fresh for the fixture.

However, Robinson downplayed the perceived advantage Rangers might have from playing an additional match. He noted that players are always eager to continue their footballing careers and that keeping momentum is crucial. Aberdeen has been training well and aims to enter the match with a positive mindset, building on a successful week of preparation.
