Scottish Premiership: Aberdeen-Rangers, Simo Valakari & Luke McCowan in focus
A full midweek card in the Scottish Premiership, but one fixture stands out from the six gracing the pre-Halloween Wednesday floodlights.
A 3-1 defeat at home to a less intimidating Aberdeen last September was a contributing factor to Michael Beale's demise as Rangers manager and the Ibrox side have failed to win in their latest two visits. At least he knows how to beat Aberdeen, albeit winning their latest two meetings came before they came under Thelin's spell - and, again, those were at home.
If a Pittodrie defeat is not to haunt another Ibrox manager, he and Rangers will have to dig deep into those traditions.Luke McCowan has had a measured start to his Celtic career after his deadline day switch from Dundee for a reported £1m. The Scot's upward trajectory has coincided with, and contributed to, a downward spiral for former manager Tony Docherty, with fan disquiet building after a run of one win in their latest eight outings, albeit that came in their own latest away trip to Motherwell.
