Rangers are gearing up for a trip to BBSP Stadium Rugby Park this Sunday afternoon, where they'll go head-to-head with Kilmarnock, aiming to keep pace with the top two in the Scottish Premiership standings.
Currently third in the Premiership, Rangers find themselves five points behind the leading duo, while Kilmarnock sits in ninth place, narrowly avoiding the relegation zone with a two-point cushion.
After clinching their first Scottish Premiership title in nine years during the 2020-21 season, thanks to an unbeaten run and an impressive tally of 102 points, Rangers have gradually fallen behind Celtic in the following seasons.
Kilmarnock's start to this season has been especially underwhelming, considering they secured a fourth-place finish in the league last year, which earned them an opportunity to compete in European football.
