Predicted Rangers Line-up To Face Kilmarnock In The Scottish Premiership
Rangers will look to get back to winning ways when they gear up to clash against Kilmarnock at the Rugby Park on Saturday.
The Gers’ four-game winning streak was brought to an end by the 3-1 loss at the hands of St. Johnstone this past weekend and caretaker manager Graeme Murty will be hoping that his side manages to bounce back from the defeat with a strong display against the Killies.
The Glasgow-based outfit are currently 3rd in the Scottish Premiership table, and with second-placed Aberdeen set to face leaders Celtic, there is a good chance for them to cut down the lead at the top if they get all three points on Saturday.
Team News
Veteran forward Kenny Miller will miss out for the Light Blues owing to an injury he picked up against Hibernian a couple of weeks back. Midfielder Ryan Jack will serve the last of his three-match ban, while Graham Dorrans has been ruled out of action for close to three months due to an injury.
And here’s how Murty could set out his side to take on the Killies:
