Kilmarnock will host Rangers in a Scottish Premiership match that will be played on Saturday at Rugby Park. Kilmarnock had finished third from bottom last season, while Rangers finished second in the standings.
Kilmarnock will be looking to start the new season with a win, and they will be hoping to cause an upset against Rangers who are the clear favourites. Rangers have not managed a win in their last two friendlies but it won't be of concern for last season's runners-up as they look to mount a title challenge against arch-rivals Celtic.
