Rangers will host Kilmarnock at the Ibrox on Wednesday in their sixth matchday of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership campaign. The home side have had mixed results in the league this season, but have picked up important results in recent games. They sit third in the table with 26 points from 13 matches.
They ground out a 1-0 win away at St. Johnstone last time out, profiting from a second-half own goal. This was just their second league win on the road this season.
Kilmarnock, meanwhile, have failed to impress this season after a strong campaign last year. However, they're now in a relegation battle approaching the midway point of the regular season. They played out a 1-1 draw against Dundee in their latest match falling behind in the 71st minute before 19-year-old Bobby Wales came off the bench to score a late leveler for Killie.
The visitors sit 10th on the table with 13 points in 14 matches. They will now be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign on track on Wednesday.
