When you’re struggling to score goals, one of the last teams you’d want to face is Kilmarnock.
Not only are Rangers third in the table, but they are joint SIXTH when it comes to converting their chances – a truly alarming statistic. Goal-shy Gers have found the net just 18 times in the Premiership this season, the same amount as relegation-threatened Hibs. Celtic (40), Aberdeen (29), Dundee (23), Dundee United (21) and St Mirren (19) have all outgunned the Light Blues in the league, so it’s little wonder Philippe Clement appears to have run out of patience with first-choice frontman Cyriel Dessers.
The Ibrox side have struggled to create chances against teams with a low-block and Killie will set out to frustrate the home crowd when they rock up to Ibrox tomorrow night. Derek McInnes has already had the upper hand over Clement this season after masterminding a 1-0 win at Rugby Park in October. Now, the veteran boss will be aiming to pile more pressure on his opposite number as the Ayrshire men look to climb up the table. It could be a cagey affair and here, Record Sport tells you everything you need to know ahead of the midweek showdown.

Team news
On-loan Dutch defender Neraysho Kasanwirjo has been ruled out for up to six months after rupturing knee ligaments while on duty with Holland’s Under-21 side against England. The 22-year-old had been challenging James Tavernier for the right-back slot but has now returned to parent club Feyenoord.
Gers have been boosted by the returns of Ridvan Yilmaz, Ianis Hagi and Danilo in recent weeks, while Oscar Cortes, Rabbi Matondo and Tom Lawrence are also closing in on injury comebacks.
Kilmarnock will be without Kyle Magennis and long-term crock Stuart Findlay, who will be sidelined until the New Year after undergoing ankle surgery.
