ABERDEEN and Rangers have never met before in the Scottish Premiership, according to the Dons website.

The two clubs are set to face off at Pittodrie on September 25 and last season's runners-up have struck the first blow by suggesting the Gers are a new club.

In the matchcentre section of the website, the 'last time' section states that there are 'no previous meetings found'.Glasgow Times:

Rangers are also missing their team badge at the top of the page, but Aberdeen have insisted they aren't entering the heated debate over whether the Light Blues are a new club following their 2012 liquidation.

A spokesman for the Dons told the Press and Journal: “We updated our website in 2014 so our statistics only go back that far.

“Any club we haven’t played since before then will come up with the same message.”
