Rangers vs Kilmarnock predictions: Draw on the cards
Key stats
- Rangers have picked up just one win from their previous six games in all competitions (L3, D2).
- The Gers have drawn six out of their eight games in the Scottish Premiership (W1, L1).
- Both teams have found the net in four of their previous five games in all competitions.
- Rangers are yet to win a league game at Ibrox this season.
Correct score prediction: Rangers 1-1 Kilmarnock
The Bears have been shockingly poor in 2025-26 and sacked Russell Martin after they endured their worst start in the league in 50 years.
Rangers lost 3-0 in the Europa League against Brann in Danny Rohl's first game in charge, and the situation is unlikely to change dramatically.
After failing to win their opening five league games, Kilmarnock hinted at returning to form with back-to-back wins before losing 3-0 against Hearts.
Rangers are likely to score at Ibrox, but their vulnerability at the back could be exploited once again.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Rangers are bookies’ favourites
- HOME: 7/20 (1.35) – 74.1%
- DRAW: 17/4 (5.25) – 19%
- AWAY: 7/1 (8.0) – 12.5%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Despite their worst start to the season, Rangers are tipped to win this encounter with 7/20 (1.35) odds. This implies a 74.1% probability of victory.
Kilmarnock won 2-0 against Dundee Utd in their previous away fixture, but like Rangers, they have been very inconsistent. As a result, they are priced at 7/1 (8.0) with only 12.5% implied probability of winning.
Both teams have been scoring home and away, so BTTS – Yes looks appealing at 10/11 (1.91), with a 52.4% chance of landing.

Rangers preview: Can the Gers bounce back?
If history is taken into account, Rangers are clear favourites, but having failed to win at Ibrox this season, they need a terrific effort to turn it around.
The Gers have scored at least three goals in their last four home matches against the visitors. However, this season they have not scored more than twice in any league game.
Rangers could be without Dujon Sterling and Rabbi Matondo for this fixture.
Predicted lineup: Butland (Gk), Tavernier, Souttar, Cornelius, Meghoma, Rothwell, Raskin, Antman, Aasgard, Gassama & Chermiti
Last five matches
- Brann 3-0 Rangers
- Rangers 2-2 Dundee Utd
- Falkirk 1-1 Rangers
- Sturm Graz 2-1 Rangers
- Livingston 1-2 Rangers
Kilmarnock preview: Best time to face Gers?
The visitors last won at Ibrox in March 2018, and history is against them here. However, Rangers are at their lowest ebb at the moment, and this is probably the best time to salvage a positive result against them in the league.
Djenairo Daniels is definitely out for Kilmarnock, while the likes of Tom Lowery, Matty Kennedy, Marley Watkins, and Max Stryjek are doubtful.
Predicted lineup: Beach (Gk), Deas, Mayo, Stanger, Thompson, Polworth, Kiltie, Watson, Brown, Dackers & Anderson
Last five matches
- Kilmarnock 0-3 Hearts
- Kilmarnock 2-0 St Mirren
- Dundee Utd 0-2 Kilmarnock
- Kilmarnock 2-2 St Mirren (lost 5-3 on penalties)
- Kilmarnock 1-2 Celtic
Player to watch – James Tavernier
In the summer of 2024, it appeared that Tavernier would leave the club, but it did not happen.
The Gers skipper is a club legend, having scored 135 goals and provided 143 assists from the right-back position across all competitions.
The 33-year-old has netted four goals already, and he could play a big part in Rangers' revival.
