Scottish Premier League leaders Rangers travel to Kilmarnock on Sunday afternoon, as they look to continue the form that has seen them reach the top of the league standings after the first round of fixtures between the 12 teams in the league.
Steven Gerrard's side have been particularly excellent after the international break with four wins from four games - two in the league and two in the Europa League.
Rangers have been sensational defensively all season, conceding just three goals in 12 league games so far. In midweek, they ground out another result in the Europa League, with a second-half Alfredo Morelos strike giving them a 1-0 victory over Lech Poznan.
Kilmarnock are fifth in the standings, but a staggering 18 points already separates them from league leaders Rangers even at such an early stage of the season.
