- Rangers manager Michael Beale named four changes to the Gers team that beat Motherwell 1-0 at Ibrox in their last Scottish Premiership match, before they advanced to the League Cup semi-finals with a 4-0 win at home to Livingston.
- Ridvan Yilmaz replaced Borna Barisic and scored to put the Gers two to the good on Wednesday night. Ryan Jack entered the midfield, joining John Lundstram and Jose Cifuentes in the middle of the park, to net the Gers' fourth goal in midweek.
- Rabbi Matondo picked up an injury at the weekend and he was replaced by Abdallah Sima, who fired Rangers in front against Livi. Kemar Roofe took Cyriel Dessers' place up front but seems to have picked up an injury in their last match.
- Aberdeen boss Barry Robson named one enforced change after the Dons' first league victory of the season where they beat Ross County 4-0 at Pittodrie, before they beat the same opponents in Dingwall 2-1 in their League Cup quarter-final.
- Richard Jensen, Slobodan Rubezic and Stefan Gartenmann continued as the centre backs with Nicky Devlin at right wing-back. Jonny Hayes replaced the injured James McGarry at left wing-back.
- Despite scoring in Germany, Dante Polvara couldn't force his way into the starting eleven. Connor Barron and Graeme Shinnie started in the middle of the park with Jamie McGrath supporting Duk and Bojan Miovski in attack.
