# Confirmed Rangers team lineup vs Aberdeen – McInnes rings the changes, Minsu Kim starts

**Derek McInnes has named his starting lineup for Sunday’s crucial Aberdeen vs Rangers Scottish Premiership clash.**

The manager has made three changes from the team that started the European debacle against Jablonec, and it’s time for a response.

McInnes knows pressure is building and the only way he can recover is by winning games.

The performance also matters today, given how poor the levels were in Czechia. During the 90 minutes of normal time, Rangers made four formation changes, while only registering one shot on target.

The big calls for Aberdeen vs Rangers are the selections of Minsu Kim, Lawrence Shankland, and Cammy Devlin.

Vanja Dragojevic, Tochi Chukwuani and Ryan Naderi drop out.

## Confirmed Rangers team lineup vs Aberdeen

The confirmed Rangers lineup at Pittodrie is:

Pandur, Sterling, Makhanya, Fernandez, Penrice, Neil, Devlin, Minsu, Curtis, Gassama, Shankland.
