Match preview

Following a dreadful display on Tuesday night, Rangers need to show a reaction.

In mid-week, last season’s Europa League runners-up began their latest bid to reach the Champions League group stages.

The Light Blues went into their tie with Royale Union Saint-Gilloise as big favourites, given that the Belgian club haven’t played in European competition for 58 years.

However, Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side offered nothing all night, slumping to a 2-0 defat at Den Dreef.

So, if Rangers are to reach the Champions League play-offs, they’re going to need a big turnaround when USG visit Ibrox this forthcoming Tuesday.

Before then, can they make it back-to-back wins to start the Premiership season?

Last Saturday, they came from a goal down to beat Livingston 2-1 at the Tony Macaroni Arena.

Scott Arfield volleying home an equaliser at Almondvale before, 101 seconds later, James Tavernier’s magnificent free-kick snatched the points.

Here, in-between two massive European games, will the Gers avoid a domestic slip-up?

Kilmarnock meanwhile are back in the top-flight as Championship champions, starting with a point on the opening day.

They did leave it late, but Ash Taylor’s emphatic stoppage time equaliser saw Killie hold Dundee United to a 1-1 draw at Rugby Park.

Manager Derek McInnes has won just six of 30 meetings with Rangers, so would love to improve that ratio here.

Can Kilmarnock spring a massive surprise?
