The Scottish FA have announced their referee selections for the next set of Scottish Premiership fixtures, with Aberdeen vs Rangers the standout tie.
Experienced whistler John Beaton will take charge at Pittodrie.
While David McGeachie and Jonathan Bell are the assistant referee's running the line.
Don Robertson has been tasked with VAR duties for this huge clash, and will be helped out by Sean Carr.
Both teams have sold out the stadium as second face third on Wednesday, October 30.
Aberdeen go into the the match six points ahead of their Glasgow-based rivals after nine league games, and Jimmy Thelin will be eager to continue his unbeaten run as Dons manager.
Rangers know they need to start building up the victories and a win in the Granite City would help narrow the gap and kickstart their title charge.
