KIRK BROADFOOT reckons Rangers face a massive test when they face Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
Walter Smith's side lost there on the final day of last season and Old Firm rivals Celtic secured the title at Dundee United.
It was a bitterly disappointing way to end the campaign and Broadfoot knows Aberdeen will be out once again to try and inflict more misery on the Ibrox club.

He said: "Without being disrespectful to Aberdeen I think they raise their game when they play us. There is massive rivalry there now.
"They love beating Rangers and there is a big of niggle when we meet. But I love that and when I say that Aberdeen raise their game I think the atmosphere inside Pittodrie will do the same for our lads.
"Their fans can be hostile but it's always a really good game.
"But there is no doubt we will go up there this weekend with the result on the final day of the season still fresh in the memory.
"We need to get a bit of revenge for that, as it was a painful night for us all, and we will be desperate to come down the road with all three points this time round."
