Highlight match of the day in Scotland!!!

The Gers face Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Sunday in the lone Scottish Premier League match of the day. Following the mid-week draw with Dundee Utd, the Rangers are faced with the task of keeping pace with top of the table Celtic. While the Gers are at full strength, Jim Jefferies Killie will be missing Simon Ford, Garry Hay,Danny Invincibile, Allan Johnston, Ryan O'Leary and Allan Russell to injury along with Manuel Pascali to injury. Killie put up a spirited fight at Ibrox in September narrowly losing 2-1 with Kris Boyd scoring two unanswered goals after the break. The Rangers can expect a very stingy defense and will need to be at their best to break through.

Prior to the match, Walter Smith commented:

"There is no doubt Kilmarnock are doing well this season. A lot of people had them down as relegation candidates but Jim has pulled them together again and continues to a remarkable job down there. It will be a difficult one for us this Sunday but it's a game we are looking forward to. When we played them in September at Ibrox they showed they are tighter as a unit than they were the previous year. This has brought them a level of success so I would expect them to set their stall out again this weekend and make it as difficult as possible for us. When you look at how tight the league is out with the Old Firm there is not a lot between the teams. Some have good spells and then have to endure a couple of losses and then get back on track again. Killie have endured a rough patch recently but Jim has enough experience to get them through that and I am sure they will raise their game when we come to town on Sunday."

I will report on the match as it concludes.
