It's match week two of the Premiership season and all to play for. Read our complete preview of Rangers-Kilmarnock!

This ground has grass, which is not Kilmarnock's everyday surface at their own arena. When playing on grass Kilmarnock have performed like this: Played 29 matches taking 8 wins, 4 draws and 17 defeats with the goal numbers 24-35 (scored/conceded).

These are hustling days for the home side, as they played only four days ago in the Champions League. That game was an away game at Union Saint-Gilloise, so at least Rangers are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
