I watched most of the game and Aberdeen threw the kitchen sink at Rangers. Rangers scored a very good 2nd goal on the counter attack as Aberdeen had too many men up front. Aberdeen definitely should have got something from the game today.

After the constant crying that the refs are playing for them the latest on here is now that McInnes threw the two games this week to let Rangers win

It’s the height of delusion this thread

Some nonsense spouted when Rangers win a game or two

Aberdeen are Celtics main rivals, that’s another cracker

It’s a temporary position theyre in. I’d expect Rangers to be back as Celtic’s main challengers very soon

Whys there no Aberdeen thread on this forum if they’re our main rivals

To answer your question that’s all he has achieved. Second place in a one team league

I would have thought those reasons were obvious! I am sure if, hypothetically, Man United were liquidated, reformed and made it back to the EPL they would still be a matter of some interest to Man City fans, even if Citeh were battling it out with, say, Chelsea, at the top of the table and in cup finals while United battled relegation.
As I said above, the fact that Aberdeen are fading as Celtic's main challengers is something that McInnes should take responsibility for. Rangers previous two games, prior to the double header with Aberdeen, were defeats to Hamilton and Dundee. This is a club in a mess that finished last season nine points behind Aberdeen and started the week six points behind them and finished it ahead of them.
If Rangers make the right appointment they will become the second club again, but Aberdeen should never have left that happen and it is most likely the man responsible for that is favourite to be the next boss at Ibrox, even if he must also take credit for how he stabilised that club too. Aberdeen seem to believe they are playing a team superior to them, something I think has also cost them against Celtic in the recent past.
I do think that the best thing for Aberdeen would have been for McInnes to have left for Sunderland as either his head being turned by other clubs has affected the climate around the club or he has just taken them as far as he can.
If the Strachan story is true, I'm not sure he is what the Dandies need.It is difficult to say what they need, but I think it is someone who accepts that Aberdeen should be, at least, the second best team in Scotland by right. Someone who has no respect for Celtic and Rangers and doesn't send out teams to play Celtic and Rangers who look defeated before a ball is kicked. I don't think McInnes has that, even when he did win against those sides it was more due to the ineptitude of Delia and Pedro than any instilled belief in his own side.

Rangers 4/5, Aberdeen 11/8, Hibs 6/1
Betting odds to be second

Ruined the whole post tbh  If it's not Aberdeen then who are Celtic's main rivals? Rangers have not finished 2nd in the league for nearly 5 years so it can't be possibly them. McInnes is a severely overrated manager also, he'll do absolutely nothing at Rangers. What has he achieved exactly other than finish 2nd without any competition whatsoever but still be 40 points behind 1st

You could also add that it's 'probably' the 1st time in 5 years that Rangers are in second place.
