📏 Form Guide
Rangers
WWDWWL
Rangers will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 2-0 UCL Qualifiers loss in their previous game against Union Saint-Gilloise.
Teddy Teuma (27') and Dante Vanzeir (76') scored for Union Saint-Gilloise.
It has been all too rare in recent times that Rangers have shown defensive steel. In fact, Rangers have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 6 goals on the way. That pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this next game, however.
Their past results show that Rangers:
- have not been beaten in the league by Kilmarnock in their last 3 games.
- have not been beaten in their last 2 league matches at home.

📋 Team News: Rangers
Nnamdi Ofoborh (Heart Condition), Kemar Roofe (Knock) and Ianis Hagi (Knee Surgery) are not available for Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
It’s our opinion that The Gers should use a 4-3-3 system for this game, utilising Jon McLaughlin, James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, John Souttar, Borna Barisic, John Lundstram, Glen Kamara, Tom Lawrence, Scott Wright, Antonio Colak and Ryan Kent.
🗞️ Team News: Kilmarnock
With a completely healthy group available to select from, the Kilmarnock boss Derek McInnes does not have any fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this match.
There’s a good chance that Killie will likely begin the game with a 3-5-2 system using Sam Walker, Joe Wright, Ashton Taylor, Lewis Mayo, Ryan Alebiosu, Rory McKenzie, Alan Power, Liam Polworth, Kerr McInroy, Oliver Shaw and Kyle Lafferty.
⚡ Prediction
Our thinking is that Rangers should really fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they face Kilmarnock, who could well struggle to score.
We’re therefore expecting to see a controlled 2-0 win for Rangers at the end of the match.
Our expert partners are tipping under 3.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
