More impressive work from Badredine Bouanani as the Rangers winger nutmegs his man then races past another two.

The shot doesn't match the build-up though as it whistles well wide.

If Aberdeen show just a little bit of composure when clearing their lines they could mount a counter-attack.

Nicky Devlin has been absolutely terrific for Aberdeen. It's a surprise to me how he has been out of the Aberdeen team for so long.

Badredine Bouanani has been hands down Rangers' biggest threat.

Every time he gets the ball, something happens.

The pressure is intensifying but Aberdeen, to their credit, are defending with everything they've got.

Sometimes I look at Marius Muller and wonder if he's a bit too dramatic with his saves, he allows Rangers to keep it alive.

James Penrice is back in his usual left-back role now and wins a corner for his team.

The ball falls to Nico Raskin, who draws a flashy save from Marius Muller. An effort from Dan Neil is then deflected over.

Dan Neil, with some strapping on his thigh, and Djeidi Gassama are on for Rangers.

Off go Tuur Rommens and Kim Min-su.

Badredine Bouanani twists one way, then another, in a busy penalty area before his low shot is blocked by Nicky Devlin at the near post.

He's got to score. He's got a free header, he gets in behind Nicky Devlin and it's wonderful ball from Bouanani but Kelsy completely mistimes it.

That's a real bad miss.

Kevin Kelsy with a free header in front of goal. He has to score!

Instead he skews the ball wide.

What a chance for the Rangers striker.

Kevin Nisbet threatens to get away from the Rangers defence but doesn't have the pace.

He cuts inside to have a shot and a deflection makes it an easy save for Ivor Pandur

Mitchy Ntelo's first contribution is very odd as the Aberdeen sub stoops to meet a cross from Stuart Armstrong. Or was he trying to get out of the way?

An absolute mess either way... He had room in the penalty box too.

Aberdeen make a change up front as Mitchy Ntelo takes over from Ayoub Mouloua.

Badredine Bouanani dips a shoulder and takes aim for the far corner with a raking shot.

A sliding Ryan Naderi is not far away from nudging the ball in as it zooms wide.

Has the James Penrice in midfield ploy worked?

No shortage of energy but Rangers boss Derek McInnes might want a bit more creativity in that area.

James Penrice is back in the thick of it.

For the second time today a Rangers sub has to sit back down.

After an awkward tangle of legs, James Penrice limps off behind the goal and Dan Neil is warming up as play resumes.

Rangers on the attack immediately as a cross from Badredine Bouanani just eludes James Penrice.

Play stops as a wincing Penrice gets some attention from the medical team.

Here we go for the second half.

No changes in personnel.
