KILMARNOCK - GLASGOW RANGERS


Rangers can improve upon their wonderful record at Rugby Park and against Killie in general.


They are 19-3-0 in the last 22 meetings and can open up a 4 point gap to 3rd placed Aberdeen, with the victory today.


Kilmarnock are set to be without 5 or 6 players, 4 of whom would have been expected to start. They have had a good season so far, but there is still a big gap between them and the top 4-5 sides. In recent starts with the bigger clubs, they have struggled to hold the ball, managing just 36% possession against Celtic, 42% verses Hibernian and a miserable 39% for the visit of Hearts.


Rangers have not conceded in 4 starts, a run which includes 3 wins and will be boosted by the inclusion of Kevin Thomson, who is set to make his debut, after completing a £2m move from Hibs.


Former Kilmarnock star, Kris Boyd will be looking to add to his total of 5 goals against his former club and may well do so. Regardless of that, Rangers to win.


4 points Rangers -1/2 ball asian line 1.72.


Good Luck.
