How to watch Kilmarnock vs Rangers: date, TV channel, live stream and team news for Scottish Premiership clash

Rangers will look to rejuvenate their title hopes this weekend when they make the trip to Rugby Park to take on a Kilmarnock side with just one win from their opening seven Premiership games.

The Light Blues have responded to their Old Firm derby loss to Celtic with three victories and three clean sheets and will hope to make it four wins on the spin in a weekend which sees high-flying Celtic and Aberdeen put their 100 percent win record on the line.

Rugby Park has been far from a happy hunting ground for Rangers in recent seasons, but manager Philippe Clement can take great pride in the team’s most recent 2-1 victory in East Ayrshire back in February.

This weekend’s encounter offers Rangers a clear opportunity to bridge the gap at the top of the league table, but will they be able to make it count?
