Rangers Secure First League Win Against Aberdeen

Rangers claimed their first win of the Scottish Premiership season with a 1-0 victory over Aberdeen at Pittodrie, marking a rebound from a recent European defeat. Lawrence Shankland scored the decisive penalty after Djeidi Gassama was fouled by Daniel Happe in the second half.

Before taking the lead, Rangers had a significant opportunity when Afeez Aremu made a crucial goal-line clearance in the 38th minute. Gassama's counter-attack set up a chance for Kim, but Aremu intervened just in time. Aberdeen believed they had equalized late in the match when Kevin Nisbet scored, but VAR ruled the goal offside after reviewing the play.

This win alleviated some pressure on Rangers' manager Derek McInnes, who had faced scrutiny following a poor performance in a midweek European match. McInnes expressed satisfaction with the team's effort and emphasized the need to build on this victory.
