Rangers predicted XI vs Kilmarnock: Sterling boost as Devlin misses out

Rangers return to Scottish Premiership action against Kilmarnock at Ibrox on Saturday 10 October, with kick-off at 3pm UK time.

Derek McInnes has received a fitness boost over Dujon Sterling, but Cammy Devlin faces a spell on the sidelines.

Rangers predicted XI against Kilmarnock

Possible XI (4-2-3-1): Pandur; Sterling, Fernandez, Makhanya, Penrice; Raskin, Neil; Kim, Naderi, Gassama; Kelsy.

This is a provisional selection, with the official starting team still to be announced.

Sterling has returned to training after a minor hamstring problem, according to McInnes’ injury update reported by the Scottish Sun.

Devlin is expected to miss around six weeks with a hamstring injury. Lawrence Shankland and Youssef Chermiti are also sidelined.

Bailey Rice unavailable for Kilmarnock

Kilmarnock must plan without Bailey Rice against his parent club.

The midfielder joined Killie on a season-long loan from Rangers. SPFL rules prevent loan players from appearing against their parent clubs in league matches.

Killie enter the fixture after following their victory at Hibernian with a draw against Hearts.

Kick-off, referee and coverage

The official Kilmarnock match preview confirms a 3pm start at Ibrox, with Matthew MacDermid refereeing and Grant Irvine on VAR duty.
