Match Time & Date:

11:00 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Ross County
Rangers will be aiming to cement top position in the Scotland Premiership when they take on Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Matchday 13. The Gers are determined to put an end to Celtic’s dominance in the Scottish top flight, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Kilmarnock. Steven Gerrard’s troops are high on confidence ahead of Sunday’s showdown, and we are positive that the former Liverpool captain is going to field the best possible side against the Killie.
Rangers are on a seven-game winning run in all competitions, and they are likely to give fans yet another reason for celebration. Experienced attacker Jermaine Defoe, who found the net in the 2-0 win over Livingston, will be the man to watch in the away team. Kilmarnock failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Hibernian, which is yet another reason why away win should be considered.
