Football rivalry

The Aberdeen–Rangers rivalry refers to football matches and related activity involving the Scottish football clubs Aberdeen and Rangers.

Unlike Rangers' Old Firm rivalry with Glasgow neighbours Celtic dating back to the 1900s, the feud with Aberdeen is a comparatively modern phenomenon which developed from the 1970s on a competitive sporting basis but escalated into hostility on the pitch and in the stands, with the animosity continuing into the 21st century.

The rivalry was at its peak during the 1980s and early 1990s when Aberdeen became a force in Scottish football. The two clubs battled for the national championship and met in several cup finals, with various incidents occurring on and off the field. The intensity diminished from the late 1990s as the fortunes of the clubs diverged, with Rangers dominant and Aberdeen unable to match them, as had been the case for much of their history, although the behaviour of players and supporters on occasion showed there remained some animosity between the clubs.

In mid-2012, Rangers ceased to be a member of the top division of Scottish football due to serious financial issues, and in their absence Aberdeen emerged as the main challengers to Celtic. When Rangers returned in 2016, they and Aberdeen were again on a more equal footing with the matches between them being of great significance to their league fate; the clubs' fortunes gradually diverged until the 2020–21 Scottish Premiership season, when Rangers won the title for the first time in a decade with an unbeaten campaign including four wins over Aberdeen, who accumulated barely half as many points and finished fourth.

Background

Since the introduction of nationwide football in Scotland, the relationship between Rangers and Aberdeen had been unremarkable. In addition to being based in cities of different size and character 150 miles apart on opposite sides of

Prodigy star Keith Flint, actors Luke Perry, Peter Fonda and Doris Day, chef Gary Rhodes and sporting legends Gordon Banks and Niki Lauda are just a few of the stars we said goodbye to in 2019.

Here's a look back at the careers and the legacies left behind following the deaths of famous faces from the worlds of music, film, TV, fashion, sport and politics.

January

Dick Millerwas astar of 1980s classics such as Gremlins and The Terminator.

The character actor rose to prominence playing Walter Paisley in cult classic A Bucket Of Blood in 1959, and went on to appear in Fame, The Howling, The 'Burbs and scores of other films in a career spanning more than 60 years.

Director Joe Dante, who worked with Miller on many of his films, including Gremlins, paid tribute to a "dear friend" and said he "loved watching him act" following his death at the age of 90.

Grammy award winnerJames Ingramwas an R&B artist who had two US number ones - Baby, Come To Me (1983) and I Don't Have The Heart (1990) - and also co-wrote Michael Jackson's Pretty Young Thing with Quincy Jones.

The American singer-songwriter also wrote Look What Love Has Done, sang by Patty Smyth, from the movie Junior in 1994.

He died at the age of 66, with Jones among those paying tribute to a "simply magical" performer.

Michel Legrand was an Oscar-winning composer who worked with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Liza Minnelli, Edith Piaf and Barbra Streisand (pictured above).

The Frenchman wrote more than 200 film and TV scores during a career spanning more than 50 years - winning Academy Awards for the much-covered hit The Windmills Of Your Mind and for his music for Summer of '42 and Yentl, as well as five Grammys from 17 nominations.

He died aged 86 with his wife, the actress Macha Meril, by his side.
