Rangers return to domestic action this afternoon, as they face a potentially tricky trip to Kilmarnock.

The Gers have blown hot and cold at Rugby Park in recent years, and Steven Gerrard will be desperate for a positive result today.

They did though play against Lech Poznan on Thursday night, meaning Gerrard could make changes – and here’s our predicted line-up for today’s game…

Allan McGregor should start in goal, with James Tavernier and Connor Goldson almost certain to start given their importance to Steven Gerrard.

Filip Helander is likely to return at centre back in place of Leon Balogun, whilst Calvin Bassey could start at left back given Borna Barisic’s workload and past issues on artificial pitches.

Rangers have often been passive in games like these, go going with Ryan Jack alongside two more attack-minded players in Joe Aribo and Scott Arfield could be a smart move.

Winger Jordan Jones should be knocking on the door for a start against his former club, with his pace and experience at Rugby Park potentially important, with Ryan Kent on the opposite flank.

Having been a substitute against Lech Poznan, Alfredo Morelos should now return to lead the Rangers attack this afternoon, replacing Kemar Roofe.

Predicted Rangers XI: McGregor; Tavernier, Goldson, Helander, Bassey; Jack, Arfield, Aribo; Jones, Kent, Morelos.
