History of the Kilmarnock v Rangers fixture

Kilmarnock prepare to entertain 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 99 games played, and losing 59.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Rugby Park was less than a year ago, in February 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
