History of the Kilmarnock v Glasgow Rangers fixture

Kilmarnock prepare to entertain Glasgow Rangers at Rugby Park on Sunday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 18 of the 92 games played, and losing 53.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Rugby Park was less than a year ago, in February 2004, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish F.A. Cup match.
