Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Rangers FC host Kilmarnock FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Rangers FC and Kilmarnock FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 9' The referee calls foul for Corrie Ndaba. He receives a card.
  • 12' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. James Tavernier makes it 1-0.
  • 17' Mohammed Diomande has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 22' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Joe Wright on 22 minutes.
  • 25' Robbie Deas is replacing Danny Armstrong for the Kilmarnock FC side.
  • 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kilmarnock FC that had 261 games and scored 274 goals.
  • 35' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Marley Watkins suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' Both keepers have barely been tested. Rangers FC and Kilmarnock FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 45' Rangers FC is showing some good football. However, Rangers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Ben Davies. He replaces Leon Balogun on 46 minute.
  • 51' Kilmarnock FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 53' GOAL! Fabio Silva scores on 45. Assisted by John Lundstram
  • 55' The referee calls foul for Marley Watkins. He receives a card.
  • 60' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 62' What composure from Ben Davies! The England international strokes it home. 3-0.
  • 64' Liam Polworth was booked on 64.
  • 66' Kilmarnock FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Brad Lyons is hanging Liam Polworth on the field on 66 minute.
  • 68' Another change for Rangers FC made on 68 minute. Todd Cantwell leaves to be changed by Tom Lawrence.
  • 71' Tom Lawrence has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 71 minutes.
  • 76' Rangers FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Kilmarnock FC's 4-4-1-1 shape.
  • 79' A tactical swap from Kilmarnock FC — Rory McKenzie on, Brad Lyons off on 79 minutes.
  • 84' Kilmarnock FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
