All the latest injury updates ahead of Kilmarnock vs Rangers in the Scottish Premiership at Rugby Park.
Rangers aim to get back to winning form on Saturday night when they travel to Rugby Park to take on Stuart Kettlewell’s Kilmarnock (8pm kick-off). Danny Rohl began his tenure with four straight league victories, but momentum has dipped recently following back-to-back draws — including Wednesday’s 2-2 result at Dundee United, rescued by Nedim Bajrami’s stoppage-time penalty.
Kilmarnock, meanwhile, haven’t won in eight matches, though their morale will have been lifted by Wednesday’s dramatic 1-1 draw at Hearts, thanks to Bruce Anderson’s late equaliser.
Both sides head into the weekend dealing with significant injury problems, with ten players already ruled out and Rohl considering making three changes for the trip.
1. John Souttar – Rangers – OUT
Picked up a muscle injury during Scotland duty, aggravating the issue during the warm-up before their 4-2 win over Denmark. Still unavailable for selection.
2. Max Stryjek – Kilmarnock – OUT
Underwent surgery earlier this week due to a heart-related issue and will be sidelined for the foreseeable future.

The Canadian defender remains out after sustaining a muscle injury last month and is expected to miss more time.
