History of the Kilmarnock v Rangers fixture

Kilmarnock prepare to entertain Rangers at Rugby Park at lunchtime on Saturday, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 18 of the 100 games played, and losing 60.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Rugby Park was less than a year ago, in November 2008, where Rangers annihilated the Killie 0-4 in a Scottish Premier match.
