Match Prediction: Rangers 2-1 Kilmarnock

Rangers have been up and down lately, but they've got the firepower to trouble Kilmarnock. They've drawn their last two home games, but a recent away win against Livingston shows they can still get the job done.

Kilmarnock will be looking to exploit any defensive lapses, especially after their solid wins against St. Mirren and Dundee United. This match could be tight, but Rangers' home advantage might just see them through.

The visitors have shown they can be tough to beat, with two clean sheets in their last three games. However, their away form has been less convincing, and Rangers will be eager to bounce back from their recent home loss to Hearts.

Expect Kilmarnock to sit deep and hit on the counter, but Rangers' attacking options could prove too much. It's going to be a battle, but Rangers should have enough to edge it.

Rangers have had a mixed bag recently, with three draws and a loss in their last five games. Their home form has been particularly shaky, drawing against Dundee United and Celtic and losing to Hearts. However, their away win against Livingston shows they can still find their scoring touch. If they can tighten up at the back, they should be able to take advantage of Kilmarnock's away struggles.

• Draw: 0-0 vs Celtic (H)

Kilmarnock have been solid at home, with wins against St. Mirren and Dundee United. Their away form has been less impressive, drawing with Motherwell and losing to Hearts.

They'll need to be at their best defensively to keep Rangers at bay, but their recent clean sheets suggest they can do it. If they can nick a goal on the counter, they might pull off an upset.

Kilmarnock did manage a 1-0 win in October 2024, but overall, Rangers have dominated this fixture. It's likely to be another tough day at the office for Kilmarnock.

With Antman and Gassama in attacking midfield roles, Rangers will look to control the game and create chances for Miovski up front. Their recent form suggests they need to be more clinical in front of goal to secure the win.

• Predicted lineup: Beach (GK), Stanger (DF), Mayo (DF), Deas (DF), Brown (MF), Kiltie (MF), Watson (MF), Polworth (MF), Thompson (MF), Dackers (AT), Anderson (AT)

Kilmarnock's midfield trio of Kiltie, Watson, and Polworth will be crucial in breaking up Rangers' play and launching quick counters. Their solid defensive record in recent games could help them frustrate Rangers at Ibrox.

• Miovski vs Deas: This will be a key battle as Rangers' striker Miovski looks to outmuscle Kilmarnock's defender Deas.
• Gassama vs Brown: For Rangers to take control of the game, Gassama will need to outwit Kilmarnock's Brown on the wing.
• Antman (Rangers): Antman's creativity in midfield will be vital for Rangers as they look to break down Kilmarnock's defence.
• Watson (Kilmarnock): Watson's ability to break up play and start counter-attacks will be crucial for Kilmarnock's chances of getting a result.
