Match preview
After suffering League Cup Final disappointment last weekend, Rangers must regroup and rediscover their mojo.
On Sunday, the Light Blues were beaten 2-1 by bitter-rivals Celtic at Hampden in the League Cup Final.
Alfredo Morelos did half the deficit just after the hour mark, but the Gers never built up enough momentum or pressure to set up a grand-stand finish.
So now, the Scottish Cup is vitally important to Mick Beale, although his team cannot give up on the Premiership title just yet.
Despite having won ten of 11 league matches since the World Cup, drawing the other against Celtic, Rangers remain nine points below the league-leaders.
With Celtic not in action until Sunday, the Light Blues can cut the gap at the top, even if only temporarily, with a victory here.
Killie were held to a 1-1 draw by Motherwell last weekend, taking an early lead through Alan Power, only for the Well to equalise via a gorgeous free-kick in injury time.
So, having won just one of their last eight, Derek McInnes’ men remain in the relegation play-off spot, albeit below Ross County by virtue of goal difference alone.
Ibrox is likely to witness a routine home victory.
