Kilmarnock v Rangers

Kilmarnock vs Rangers Preview

Kilmarnock finally got themselves off the mark with a win in the Scottish Premiership just before the international break when the hosts registered a 3-2 win away from home at Dundee, while Rangers collected a third league win on the trot before the break by recording a solid 2-0 home win against St Johnstone.

That welcome win against Dundee has helped lift Kilmarnock up into ninth place in the Scottish Premiership table but the jury is still out as to whether Killie can produce back-to-back wins on Sunday lunchtime especially against the Scottish giants, Rangers.

Prior to the win at Dundee, Kilmarnock had failed to win any of their preceding eight league matches which consisted of four draws but also four defeats, so the hosts are by no means guaranteed a result of any sort here at their BBSP Stadium Rugby Park on Sunday lunchtime.

Points picked up in draws with Hibernian, St Mirren and Dundee United have been overshadowed by losses incurred at the hands of Celtic, St Johnstone and Aberdeen respectively and suggest the upcoming hosts could well struggle to gain the upper hand on home soil here.

In addition, Kilmarnock have also failed to win any of their last five home games in the Scottish Premiership as well.

Rangers will be going in search of a fourth consecutive win in the Scottish top flight when they make their way to The BBSP Stadium Rugby Park on Sunday lunchtime after picking up important wins against Dundee United, Hibernian and St Johnstone respectively.

The visitors currently occupy third spot in the Scottish Premiership table and the visitors will be eager to reduce the existing five-point deficit behind their old rivals Celtic who sit top of the division, but having slipped to just two defeats within their last 13 matches overall, Philippe Clement's side look well set for further success here.

Despite losses away from home at Celtic, Rangers have also picked up eight wins during this period which include collecting wins on the road at St Mirren and Dundee United along with a previously resounding 4-1 thumping of Kilmarnock at home back in early May.

Rangers have managed to capture just two wins in their last eight outings on the road along with being dealt three defeats as well, but The Gers' last visit to The BBSP Stadium Rugby Park to face Kilmarnock resulted in a 2-1 win for the Glasgow visitors.

Kilmarnock v Rangers Verdict

Kilmarnock look to have their work cut out here on Sunday lunchtime as Rangers have won each of the last three meetings on the trot and although the visitors have struggled on the road of late, The Gers should have enough quality to overcome a stumbling Killie outfit.

Therefore, our main bet will be Rangers win @ 1.50
