Rangers vs Kilmarnock Prediction: Rangers won’t give up until the final day

Ibrox Stadium will host this round 35 Scottish Premiership game between Rangers and Kilmarnock. Let’s preview this game and make a prediction.

Rangers are off a win over St. Mirren, a game that ended in a 1-2 win on the road. In that encounter, Rangers took the lead through an own goal in the 32nd minute, but a 37th-minute equalizer by Mikael Mandron saw the game leveled at halftime. In the meantime, Cyriel Desser's 74th minute strike for Rangers made sure that they leave that game with maximum points. Going into this game, Rangers now have 78 points from their first 34 games of the season and are three points adrift of their rivals, Celtic.

Kilmarnock settled for a goalless draw with Hearts the previous weekend, and in this one, they will hope for an even positive result. With that result, Kilmarnock remained unbeaten in as many as five games, with a run of three wins and two draws. The visiting teams scored nine goals in those matches while conceding three times. Kilmarnock have accumulated 52 points this season and are seated in 4th spot in the standings, with a chance in Europe that looks possible next season.

In the last five meetings between sides, Rangers won four, while Kilmarnock won one. In those games, Rangers scored 11 goals, while Kilmarnock scored six.

Rangers are expected to be at their best in this game, especially since they are back on home turf. However, Kilmarnock are in their best form with an undefeated run. This is going to be a tight encounter anyway, but Rangers are the better side in this fixture and come in as favorites. Regardless, I am backing the hosts here in a match that should produce many goals like their previous meetings.
