Rangers XI vs Kilmarnock – Predicted lineup and team news

Rangers face Kilmarnock at Rugby Park in a Scottish Premiership encounter on Saturday.

The Gers aim to snap their three-match winless streak and narrow the distance to the league leaders, while Stuart Kettlewell’s team will look to build on consecutive draws with their first win in over two months.

Rangers head to Ayrshire without a league defeat in their past three outings, though a series of stalemates has hampered their league progression as they sit nine points behind league leaders Hearts and Celtic.

In their recent 2-2 draw with Dundee United, Röhl’s squad required Nedim Bajrami’s stoppage-time penalty to earn a share of the spoils, despite registering over 30 shots and a substantial xG of 4.39. Currently, Rangers are sitting at fourth in the league table with 23 points from 14 matches.

Rangers team news

Danny Röhl, Rangers’ manager, grapples with a lengthy injury roster ahead of the away fixture. Defender John Souttar, centre-back Derek Cornelius, and striker Mikey Moore sustained muscle strains during the recent international period, with Souttar unlikely to return before the January Old Firm clash with Celtic.

Winger Oliver Antman faces approximately two months sidelined due to a leg/adductor injury, while midfielder Bailey Rice confronts an extended absence following surgery for a muscle problem. Kieran Dowell and Rabbi Matondo will also miss this contest.

Rangers predicted lineup

Possible Rangers starting XI: Butland; Tavernier, Djiga, Fernandez, Meghoma; Raskin, Barron; Gassama, Diomande, Bajrami; Miovski

When will the match kick off?
