Rangers and Kilmarnock will battle for three points in a Scottish Premiership Round Nine clash on Sunday, October 26th. The game will be played at Ibrox Stadium, with the hosts eager to bounce back from a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Brann in the UEFA Europa League during midweek.
### Recent Form
Rangers suffered a heavy loss away to Brann, with Emil Kornvig, Jacob Sorensen, and Noah Holm each scoring to secure the win for the Norwegian side. Turning their focus back to domestic football, the Gers’ last outing ended in a 2-2 draw at home against Dundee United.
Kilmarnock, on the other hand, were defeated 3-0 at home by Hearts. Craig Halkett opened the scoring in the 19th minute, giving Hearts the lead going into halftime, while Claudio Braga sealed the victory with a second-half brace. This loss left Kilmarnock in fifth place with 10 points from eight games, just one point and one spot above Rangers.

### Match Prediction
Rangers’ season has taken a downturn, especially in Europe, with their recent thrashing by Brann extending their winless streak to four games. Since the appointment of manager Danny Rohl, there has been no immediate “new manager bounce.” The 36-year-old will be eager to register a win in his second game in charge.
Kilmarnock come into the match unbeaten in their last five away games across all competitions in regulation time. While this fixture poses a tough challenge for the visitors, Rangers’ recent struggles give Kilmarnock some hope of securing points.
We are backing Rangers to claim a comfortable home victory, with goals expected at both ends of the pitch.
**Prediction:** Rangers 3-1 Kilmarnock
