2nd position in the Premiership table for Rangers so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 5th-placed Kilmarnock visits Ibrox.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
This stadium uses grass, unlike Kilmarnock's home stadium. The visitors last 40 games on grass have ended in 16 wins, 13 draws and 11 losses.
Kilmarnock are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Rangers form and stats

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Allan McGregor not having conceded a league goal in 222 minutes.
A good away victory last time out for Rangers, who won 3-0 against Hibernian (placed 7th). In the game before, an away victory match versus Motherwell with a 2-0 scoreline.

Kilmarnock form and stats
There's been little loot from Kilmarnock's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 9 away games in the Premiership. Kilmarnock only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw.
