- Rangers have kept a clean sheet in their last 4 matches against Kilmarnock in all competitions.
A tight encounter in Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock were on the wrong end of a Scottish League Cup semi final result as they fell 2-0 against Celtic, and the challenges don’t get any easier as the next best team in the Scottish Premiership provide the opposition this time around!There are questions to be asked around the poor recent form of Kilmarnock (W1, D2, L3), although they are a typically solid side. It’s been over five hours of play since the last time Kilmarnock scored a goal, although all three full games within that run produced under 2.5 goals in total.
This isn’t Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes’ first rodeo with Rangers, he has played the Glasgow side on 31 previous occasions whilst winning only six (D5, L20), suggesting this will be another tough encounter.
Rangers can edge out the win
Rangers extended their unbeaten run to eight games with their League Cup victory last time out, and should be good value for their favourites tag ahead of this trip to a Kilmarnock side that are firing blanks regularly.The visitors have kept a joint league-high nine clean sheets so far this season and we fancy them to continue that trend with a victory to nil in this encounter. To complete our selections, we’re going for a small stakes play on a 2-0 correct score, the same scoreline in which Kilmarnock have lost by in their last two games.
