Kilmarnock vs Rangers Prediction and Betting Tips | October 20th 2024
Kilmarnock will host Rangers at the Rugby Park on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership campaign. The home side have endured a difficult start to their season and find themselves ninth in the league table with just six points from seven matches, four points above a wayward Hearts side at the bottom of the pile.
They, however, picked up a stunning 3-2 comeback win over Dundee in their last match, finding themselves two goals down with less than 10 minutes of normal time left to play before goals from Matthew Kennedy and Bruce Anderson helped Killie secure their first league win of the campaign.
Rangers, meanwhile, are enjoying a good run of form in the league, although they remain behind early in the title race. They beat St. Johnstone 2-0 in their last match, with Wolfsburg loanee Vaclav Cerny netting a goal in either half to send the Gers to a seventh consecutive victory over the Perth outfit.
The visitors sit third in the Premiership standings with 16 points from seven matches. They are five behind rivals Celtic at the top of the table and will be looking to reduce that gap with a win on Sunday.

Kilmarnock vs Rangers Prediction
Kilmarnock's latest result ended a seven-game winless run and they will be looking to kick on from that this weekend. They are, however, winless on home turf in competitive action since April and could struggle here.
Rangers are in much better form than their weekend opponents after winning five of their last six games across all competitions. They have had the upper hand in this fixture historically and should come out on top this Sunday.
Prediction: Kilmarnock 1-3 Rangers
