Is Kilmarnock vs Rangers on TV? Kick-off time, team news, referee & VAR

Rangers proved on Saturday that they can dismantle the best teams in the country after thrashing in-form Hearts 5-0 at Ibrox.

It was a stunning display of dominance from the Light Blues as Philippe Clement’s side remain two points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

Attention now turns from facing the third-best side in Scotland to the fourth in Kilmarnock and you wouldn’t put it past Rangers putting on another convincing performance in Ayrshire.

But heading to Rugby Park is a different challenge as opposed to facing Killie at Ibrox and it’s going to be a test to get a result tonight.

Kilmarnock away has been a bogey fixture for Rangers over the last four or five seasons, the most recent loss there at the start of the current season under Michael Beale.

But the Light Blues have won every single game since returning from the winter break in January and can be confident of picking up three points against Killie.

Below, Rangers News provide you with everything there is to know about the clash against Kilmarnock including how to watch, the latest team news, an injury news round-up plus the appointed officials.
