Review

After losing 5-0 to Dundee utd in their previous game, Aberdeen played a very tight game and the score was still goal-less at half time.
Gemmell's penalty two minutes after the break opened things up however and Aberdeen had to come out and chase. Lennox scored a second and after Storrie had pulled one back for the Sheep, Bertie Auld made it certain with a third two minutes from time.

Rangers 1-0 Dundee Utd.
