Queen’s Park was the story of the previous round, eliminating the rangers in Ibrox and contributing to the eventual disappearance of the Ibrox Philippe Clement manager.
It is not just that historical result, the first side outside the upper level that has defeated the Rangers in the Cup in their own patch, which ensures that there will be no element of surprise this time.
The Spiders visited Pittodrie once before this season, when they open first category, he had to wait until the detention time before the solitary goal of Topi Keskinen assured the progress in August to the quarterfinals of the League Cup.
Including Ibrox, Callum Davidson’s team is three undefeated on the road, all without granting, but will have to recover from the 3-2 loss of Ayr United Tuesday that leaves them in sixth place in the championship.
The hosts of Jimmy Thelin have fallen to fourth place in the highest category after a 5-1 blow in Celtic park and Sunday 2-2 at home to Dundee United.
However, the recent inconsistency of the Dons is at least one improvement in their sad career in a 15 -year -old victory, now they have only lost once in five exits and are undefeated in their last three at home.
That all points against Queen’s Park cause another important shock in front of a live television audience in BBC One Scotland and BBC Ilayer. On the other hand, that humiliation of 2023 by Darvel of sixth level is still fresh in Aberdeen’s memory.
