"Thelo Aasgaard opened the scoring before a James Tavernier penalty sealed victory for Danny Rohl's side at Tynecastle. The visitors broke the deadlock midway through the first half, with Aasgaard volleying in after a well-worked short corner routine. Emmanuel Fernandez thought he had doubled the lead, but his header was ruled out for a foul on Aberdeen goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov following a VAR review."
"Since Rohl joined the club, Rangers have the most wins (11), points (35) and goals (26) of any Scottish Premiership side, while only Motherwell have conceded fewer goals (four). Tavernier's penalty was his 89th Scottish Premiership goal, a tally only bettered by Leigh Griffiths (92) since the competitions rebrand in 2013. Rangers have also now won three successive top-flight meetings against Aberdeen without conceding for the first time since August 2011."
Rangers won 2-0 at Tynecastle to remain three points behind Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts. Thelo Aasgaard volleyed in from a well-worked short corner and James Tavernier converted a penalty after Graeme Shinnie fouled Djeidi Gassama. Emmanuel Fernandez had a header ruled out for a foul on Aberdeen goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov following a VAR review. Hearts edged Dundee 1-0 despite finishing with 10 men after goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow was sent off following a VAR review, and Craig Gordon made a last-gasp save to preserve the win. Since Danny Rohl's arrival, Rangers lead the league in wins, points and goals, and Tavernier has 89 Premiership goals.
