View: Attacker to face axe in two Rohl changes - Rangers predicted XI vs Aberdeen

Danny Rohl could leave Djeidi Gassama out of his side when Rangers face Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday.

The Bears trail league leaders Hearts by three points, and although Celtic are also above them in the table, Rohl’s side has a brilliant opportunity to win the league this season.

Sunday’s 1-0 win over St Mirren has revitalised their Scottish Premiership title hopes, and with eight games to go, it’s anyone’s guess as to who will triumph at the end of the campaign.

When Rangers face Aberdeen on Saturday, Gassama might not be named in the side, and he could have zero arguments.

Andreas Skov Olsen to replace Djeidi Gassama vs Aberdeen

Gassama came back into the starting lineup against St Mirren after a string of impressive cameos off the bench.

However, he once again failed to grasp this opportunity, as he remained ineffective on the right.

According to Sofascore, the French winger has only completed 77.1 per cent of his passes, which highlights his inconsistency in possession.

As a result, Gassama will likely be dropped for Andreas Skov Olsen, who hasn’t hit the ground running yet, but could provide a bigger threat in the box.

Connor Barron could return to Rangers’ starting lineup for the first time in over three months in place of Tochi Chukwuani.

The Scottish midfielder featured off the bench last weekend, and the Bears have desperately missed his calmness on the ball.

Other than those two changes, the rest of the team should remain the same, but it’s clear that a lot more is expected from Youssef Chermiti.

Why Youssef Chermiti is letting Rangers down once again

Four of Chermiti’s nine goals this season have come against Celtic, and although he relishes the fixture, it shows how inconsistent he’s been in other areas.

He has also found the back of the net four times against Hearts, which shows that while he can perform in big games, he has been shocking against every other team in the division.

The Portuguese striker has produced many magical moments this campaign, but it’s clear that he needs to provide a lot more week in, week out.

When the Light Blues host Aberdeen at Ibrox, Chermiti can’t afford to be anonymous for another game against a struggling side.

The Dons haven’t won in six matches, and if there is any time for the 21-year-old to find his goalscoring form again, it’s on Saturday.
