Kilmarnock is having an impressive season, particularly given their near relegation last year. They managed to avoid this by securing victories in the final two rounds, ensuring their place in the Premiership for at least another season. This year, they’re performing exceptionally well, improving as the season unfolds. Currently, Kilmarnock is in 4th place with 40 points from 27 rounds, placing them in a strong position to secure a spot in the Championship group. They’re ten points clear of 7th place, albeit having played one game more.
Rangers, one of Scotland’s top two teams, hold more league titles than their city rivals Celtic, with a score of 55 to 53. Despite Celtic experiencing more success in recent years, this year the Rangers are excelling in all competitions. They claimed victory in the League Cup, advanced to the Europa League 1/8 Finals, and currently lead the Scottish league by two points, ahead of Celtic.
Kilmarnock vs Rangers pick: Both teams to score
Kilmarnock has been performing exceptionally well recently, with just one loss out of 14 games across all competitions. This single defeat (3:1) was away against their upcoming opponent and current league leader, Rangers. Their scoring has been consistent, particularly on home ground where they’ve netted at least one goal in 16 out of 18 matches in all competitions. Furthermore, in this season alone, Kilmarnock managed to score at least one goal in two games against Rangers and four against Celtics. Therefore, it is entirely plausible to anticipate at least one goal in the upcoming match.
The Rangers are currently leading the league and are in outstanding form, boasting a winning streak of nine games and a total of 26 goals scored during this time &— an average of 2.9 per game. Therefore, it would be a significant shock if they failed to score at least one goal.
In three of the last four head-to-head games, both teams have scored, and we anticipate a similar scenario in the next game with both teams scoring.

Coach Philippe Clement expressed his delight to the media following a 5:0 victory against Hearts. He was extremely pleased with defeating a team that had gone undefeated in their last 12 matches. “I was impressed with the energy, the determination to score goals, and the refusal to offer opportunities to the opponent,” added the coach.
It is likely that Todd Cantwell, Rabi Matondo, Kieran Dowell, Abdallah Sima, and Danilo Pereira, who were absent from the previous games due to injuries, will continue to be sidelined.
