Rangers v Kilmarnock: title chase meets survival fight | OneFootball

Rangers host Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership at Ibrox Stadium on Wednesday, 4 February 2026, with the hosts pushing the title race and the visitors hunting points to pull clear of danger.

Rangers have dominated this fixture lately, winning 3-0 at Kilmarnock in December and 3-1 at Ibrox in October. Across the listed head to heads, the Glasgow side have taken 60% of the results.

Recent form leans the same way. Rangers followed wins over Dundee and Aberdeen with a goalless draw at Hibernian. Kilmarnock beat Aberdeen 3-0 last time out after defeats at Motherwell and against Hibernian, plus a draw at Livingston.

Season trends point to contrasting profiles. Rangers have 11 clean sheets and the league's tightest defensive numbers, conceding just 17 with 59% average possession and 84.70% passing accuracy. Kilmarnock have scored 23 and conceded 43, but their 23.77% crossing accuracy and strong aerial volume suggest a threat from wide areas. James Tavernier leads Rangers in the league with six goals, while Bruce Anderson and Tyreece John-Jules have four each for Kilmarnock.

Set pieces and penalty box pressure could be decisive. Kilmarnock have conceded eight penalties this season, and Rangers have converted four of five at an 80.0% rate. The hosts' crossing volume may also stretch the visitors' back line.

A home win would move Rangers to 51 points and could lift them into second, sharpening their title push. Victory for Kilmarnock would take them to 20 points, potentially level with St Mirren, and would be a significant step in their fight to climb away from 11th.
