Rangers vs Kilmarnock Prediction
Rangers will be gutted at losing a cup final to their biggest rivals but will have to dust themselves off and bounce back and keep their slim title hopes alive.
They sit nine points behind leaders Celtic in the title race and cannot afford too many slip-ups if they are to pip their city rivals to the league crown.
Kilmarnock, meanwhile, have a relegation battle to navigate, and an unlikely win in the capital could kickstart their quest to avoid the drop. However, there's a huge gulf in quality between the two sides, so Rangers should claim a comfortable win.
Prediction: Rangers 4-0 Kilmarnock
