Rangers vs Kilmarnock Prediction and Betting Tips | May 5th 2024

Rangers will be looking to move level with Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership table when they play host to Kilmarnock on Sunday.

Derek McInnes’ men have failed to win their last 10 visits to the Ibrox Stadium since March 2018 and will head into the weekend looking to end this six-year run.

Rangers ensured they remain within touching distance of league leaders Celtic as they picked up a 2-1 victory over St. Mirren last Sunday.

This followed a 2-1 victory over Hearts in the Scottish Cup semi-finals on April 21, a result which has set up a mouth-watering final with rivals Celtic on May 25.

With 78 points from 34 matches, Rangers are currently second in the Championship round of the Premiership table, three points behind first-placed Celtic.

Kilmarnock, on the other hand, were denied a third win on the bounce last time out as they played out a goalless draw with Hearts on home turf.

With that result, McInnes’ side have gone five consecutive games without defeat, claiming three wins and two draws since a 3-1 loss at Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup on March 9.

With 52 points from 34 matches, Kilmarnock are currently fourth in the league table, nine points above fifth-placed St. Mirren in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification spot.
