Rangers v Kilmarnock: The Gers End Killies Unbeaten Record?
Rangers enter this home encounter with everything pointing towards a home win after their impressive victory at Celtic last week. In fact, this looks one of the biggest home bankers of the weekend’s fixtures so if you want to win £200,000 on Footy 15 this match looks a definite home win. After all, the Killies have a poor record against the Ibrox giants.
Kilmarnock have only won once in their last 27 encounters in all competitions against Rangers whilst the Glasgow giants have won 23 of those matches. Their only win in this time came in a 1-0 win at Ibrox in May 2007. The Killies scorer that day was Steven Naismith who later joined Rangers. This remains the away side’s only victory in the last 14 League visits to Ibrox. In fact, Kilmarnock have only managed to score once in their last 5 trips to Ibrox so don’t expect them to score many goals in this one. Their scoring record at Ibrox in the last 14 visits reads scored 14 goals and conceded 45. However, this season Kilmarnock have started brightly.
The Killies like Rangers remain unbeaten in the SPL this season but they are also boast an outstanding defensive record of not actually conceding a goal as of yet. This record will be put firmly to the test by a Rangers side who have scored more goals than any other SPL side this term with 8. They may also be facing their former striker Kris Boyd who boasts an outstanding record of 9 goals in his last 9 appearances against his former club. However, there is plenty of goals in this Rangers side as last season alone they scored 2 goals in each of their 3 wins over this weekend’s opposition.
Therefore, expect Rangers record to continue at the Killies expense as they maintain their impressive record of 20 home competitive matches unbeaten at Ibrox. They should be one of the main bankers on Footy 15 this week with a £200k Jackpot up for grabs.
Pundit’s Pick: Rangers Continue their Run over Killies (HOME WIN)
