Back to Domestic affairs now after the horror show in Cardiff which saw the National team lose Rajon Rondo Jersey  3-0 to Wales. Kilmarnock make the journey to Glasgow for Saturdays SPL encounter, and the stats are stacked against Jim Jefferies side. Killie dont have the greatest record against the Old Firm and they last won at Ibrox in 2007 when Steven Naismith, now at Rangers, scored the only goal  however, it was the last game of the season with nothing to play for, before that, it was 2001. A special memory I have from Rangers v Kilmarnock fixtures was back in 2003, the third last game of the season before the title decider, where Rangers came out on top. Georgian talisman Shota Arveladze scored an absolute cracker in that game, I also remember Michael Mols putting the Gers 2 up in the space of 5 minutes.After his World Cup succe s against Egypt, Madjid Bougherra is unlikely to feature for Rangers tomorrow but is hopeful of returning for the Champions League tie with VFB Stuttgart. Bougherra arrived back from Algeria this morning after his two games for Algeria on Saturday and Wednesday which saw mad scenes in Algiers, Cairo & Khartoum with a mixture of delight and despair. DaMarcus Beasley, who made a brief appearance last week against St Mirren is also out due to a minor hamstring injury  but again, should hopefully be back for the Stuttgart match. Pedro Mendes, whos Portugal qualified for the World Cup, is still out with a hamstring injury. Maurice Edu is back in full training but is unlikely to feature, same with Andrew Little. On a positive note, Steven Whittaker returns to the side and will start at right-back tomorrow.Kilmarnock who are tenth in the table and lost 3-0 against Celtic in their last visit to Glasgow are still without integral centre-half Simon Ford who is on his way back after a knee injury. Jim Jefferies could also welcome back former Celtic striker Mark Burchill to his side for tomorrows game and Allan Ru sell is close to a recovery.Probable Rangers Team:McGregorWhittaker Weir Wilson PapacNaismith Davis Thomson LaffertyBoyd FleckProbable Kilmarnock Team:BrownOld Fowler Wright HayTaouil Hammil Bryson SkeltonKyle Fernandez  Anthony Davis Jersey
