Rangers ibrox stadium

Rangers’ outside chances of a Scottish Premiership title triumph arguably depend on them recording a win over Kilmarnock at Ibrox on Wednesday (19:45 GMT).

The Gers dropped to third in the table on Sunday due to a listless performance in the 0-0 draw at Hibernian, making a quick response crucial. Read on for my Rangers vs Kilmarnock predictions, complete with the latest team news and match odds from Betfred.

Team News

Danny Rohl has an evolving squad to choose from after Ryan Naderi was added from Hansa Rostock ahead of Monday’s deadline.

The £5m German striker is likely to be eased in so a start might be beyond him this soon, but fellow additions Tochi Chukwuani and Andreas Skov Olsen should again get the nod.

New full-back Tuur Rommens is nearing fitness, while Mohamed Diomande may come into contention after coming off the bench at Easter Road on Sunday.

James Tavernier may come back in as Dujon Sterling’s phased return is managed following his return against Hibs.

Killie boss Neil McCann says spirit is high in the camp after Saturday’s 3-0 victory over Aberdeen ended a 17-game run without a win since they beat St Mirren in October under Stuart Kettlewell.

McCann could call upon Aaron Tshibola after the experienced midfielder returned to the club on deadline day, although he may be tempted to go with largely the same side which swatted the Dons aside on Saturday.

Fellow new signings Nicky Clescenco and Joe Hugill may be involved.

Rangers vs Kilmarnock Predicted Lineups

  • Rangers: Butland; Tavernier, Souttar, Fernandez, Meghoma; Diomande, Raskin, Chukwuani; Skov Olsen, Chermiti, Moore
  • Kilmarnock: Roos; Schjonning-Larsen, Brown, Deas, Thompson; Polworth, Watson, Lyons; Kiltie; John-Jules, Anderson

Rangers vs Kilmarnock Odds

Rohl’s side are heavily-backed to return to winning ways, with Betfred offering 2/7 about a home victory.

It’s 9/2 for the draw, while Killie are 9/1 to register a first success at Ibrox since March 2018.

You can get 10/11 if you fancy Both Teams to Score, while Rangers are 8/5 to win both halves.

Today's Football Fixtures

Only Rangers to Score @ 11/10

Rangers’ excellent recent defensive record could easily have been torn to shreds by Hibs on Sunday as the Edinburgh side made a number of clear opportunities.

But one of the real strengths of the Gers under Rohl has been the ability to ride out difficult periods, hang in games, and keep the good feeling going.

With renewed competition for places, there ought to be an increased hunger on show from the Rangers players. And I think this turns out much like the last five home league games in that they simply get the job done.

It’s 11/10 for them to repeat the trick of four of their last five in the Premiership at Ibrox by winning without a concession. That implies a probability of 47.6%.

Football Odds

Nico Raskin Anytime Goalscorer @ 18/5

The threat of Rangers since Scott Fry left Lincoln City to become their set-piece coach has been marked.

Suddenly, the Gers look huge, and you can see the concern in opposition players’ faces whenever they’re facing a corner or attacking free-kick.

While Manny Fernandez’s goals have stood out, Nico Raskin has also been a massive danger in the air despite his small frame.

With a sensational timing of the jump, and the more obvious aerial targets of Fernandez, John Souttar, Youssef Chermiti and even Thelo Aasgaard around him, Raskin can often find himself in space.

So I fancy the Belgian to notch another goal from a corner, just as he has against Hibs, Dundee and Aberdeen already this term.
