No way through as Dons hold Gers

The Dons’ unwanted statistic of failing to register a win at the Glasgow venue since 1991 remains but the Pittodrie side will no doubt have been the happier of the two teams.

Steven Whittaker saw penalty shouts waved away while Jerome Rothen twice tried his luck in the early exchanges.

Nacho Novo and Kenny Miller were then both denied by Jamie Langfield, though Aberdeen threatened either side of the interval through Gary McDonald and Andrew Considine.

Considine was again guilty of a miss before Kris Boyd headed wide for Rangers.

The Scottish champions have now gone 293 minutes without scoring a league goal and know they will be under pressure to regain their form when Celtic come calling next weekend.
