Team News

  • Ivor Pandur was in goal. James Penrice continued at left-back, with Olwethu Makhanya joining Emmanuel Fernandez in central defence, and Dujon Sterling remained at right-back for an unchanged Gers backline.

  • Max Stryjek's injury led to Calum Ferrie taking his place in goal. Michael Schjønning-Larsen shifted to left-back, with George Stanger teaming up with Cathal McCarthy in central defence. Meanwhile, Jamie Brandon took over from the ineligible MJ Kamson-Kamara at right-back.

  • As he is ineligible to face his parent club, Bailey Rice joined Tom Lowery and Greg Kiltie in midfield. Up front, Tyreece John-Jules paired up with Joe Hugill against the Jambos.

  • Rangers lean hardest on Ivor Pandur (9.5), James Penrice (9.5), Emmanuel Fernandez (9.5) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • Lawrence Shankland is out for Rangers — index 8.2, against 0.0 for the best cover we hold at his position. Major loss.

  • Kilmarnock lean hardest on Tom Lowery (9.5), Tyreece John-Jules (9.5), Greg Kiltie (9.5) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.

  • Bailey Rice is out for Kilmarnock — index 6.6, against 7.3 for the best cover we hold at his position. Well covered.

  • The projected score for this one is Rangers 3 - 0 Kilmarnock, a home win by 3 with 3 goals in it — on the right side of the 2.5 line.

  • The read: Rangers at 1.10 is short enough that the value, if there is any, sits on the handicap or in the goals market rather than the outright.
