Match preview: Rangers (H)

We are back home this week as we get set to host Rangers on Wednesday night.

We are aiming to bounce back from our late defeat away to Aberdeen as we bid to make it back-to-back wins against Rangers in Ayrshire.

The visitors will have a change of face in the dugout after manager Philippe Clement departed the club on Sunday – Barry Ferguson leads them.
