Kilmarnock v Rangers betting preview, team news, key stat, free tip & TV details

Ladbrokes Premiership
Sky Sports Football, 1.30pm Sunday

Rangers can start their Ladbrokes Premiership campaign with a bang by crushing Kilmarnock.

Last season, the sides played each other seven times and Steven Gerrard's Gers won only twice, but they look far better equipped this season.

New signings Sheyi Ojo and Joe Aribo have sparkled in pre-season and in Europe and Rangers have impressed.

In contrast, Killie have a new manager in Angelo Alessio and he has plenty to prove. They have only played low-key friendlies against local amateur sides since a shambolic Europa League exit to Connah's Quay Nomads.

Rangers should have enough about them to win comfortably.
