Rangers will be aiming to cut down the gap to rivals Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership when they will face Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Wednesday.
They are nine points behind Celtic after 21 matchdays and are desperate to bridge the deficit.
They head into this fixture on the back of a 2-1 victory in extra time against Aberdeen in a thrilling semi-final in the Scottish League Cup and will be eager to carry on their momentum into the domestic league. Michael Beale's side showed strength and determination to stage a comeback, with substitute Kemar Roofe netting the winner just four minutes into extra time.
Meanwhile, Kilmarnock were defeated by Celtic in the same competition which leaves them winless in 2023. However, they are a tough side to break down at home and have picked 18 of their 20 Premiership points in their own backyard. They are just three points above bottom-placed Ross County and will hope to stage an upset against Rangers.
