  • 30' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 35' The travelling Kilmarnock FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rangers FC that had 402 games and scored 785 goals.
  • 45' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 46' The whistle greets Leon Balogun as he departs to be replaced by Ben Davies.
  • 51' Fabio Silva has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.

  • 64' Kilmarnock FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 64.

  • 79' Rory McKenzie is ready to make an impact after coming on for Brad Lyons at the 79 minute mark.
  • 84' It is a cagey affair so far. Rangers FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Kilmarnock FC's compact 4-4-1-1.
  • 89' A quiet spell here at Ibrox Stadium. Rangers FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
