Match preview: Rangers vs Kilmarnock

Killie travel to Ibrox hoping to all but secure fourth spot

Kilmarnock face a tough trip to Ibrox this lunchtime but will be buoyed by the fact that continental football is already confirmed for next season.

Now, the battle is on to secure fourth, with Killie in pole position, six points clear of fifth-placed St Mirren.

Full focus has to be on the remaining fixtures, and today is no different.

Team news

Derek McInnes will be without long-term absentee Kyle Magennis as well as Liverpool loanee James Balagizi, who has picked up a knee injury, and Greg Stewart, who has undergone a hernia operation.

The home side won't be able to select Connor Goldson, Oscar Cortes and Danilo, who are out for the rest of the season. Rabbi Matondo and Abdallah Sima remain on the sidelines. Ryan Jack and Ridvan Yilmaz have returned to training, but this match will likely come too soon for them.

Last time out...

Rangers are the only side to have beaten Kilmarnock in the Premiership since the turn of the year, beating McInnes' side twice, including in February, where the Ibrox side came from behind to win 2-1 at Rugby Park. Here's the best of the action from that night:
