On Saturday afternoon, Rangers host Kilmarnock at Ibrox Stadium, as the Gers look to maintain their unbeaten start to the new league campaign.

The home team will be striving to stop arch-rivals Celtic’s incredible run of nine straight SPL titles. Steven Gerrard’s team have started the new Scottish top-flight campaign by taking ten points from a possible 12.

A goalless draw at Livingston last time out in the SPL ended the Gers winning league start. In fact, the draw ended a run of four straight wins in the SPL dating back to last season.

One notable factor in Rangers performances this season has been their defensive displays, as the team from Glasgow have kept clean sheets in all four SPL matches this season.

Gerrard’s team once again has a strong recent home record in the Scottish top-flight, winning 12 of their last 14 home games in the SPL, suffering just one defeat in the process.

Kilmarnock have made a poor start to the new campaign in the Scottish top-flight, picking up just two points from their opening four league matches. Last time out, Alex Dyer’s team suffered a 2-1 home defeat against St. Johnstone.

This season’s poor form is just a continuance from last season, as Killie have now failed to win in their previous eight SPL matches, having suffered five defeats in the process.

The visitors league games this season have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their four league outings. Both teams have also scored in 12 of Killie’s last 13 league outings.

Kilmarnock have struggled for away wins in the SPL of late, as they have won just one of their previous 13 league games on their travels in the Scottish top-flight.

Forebet predicts that Rangers will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to continue their decent start to the new SPL campaign.
