Kilmarnock is expected to line up in a 3-4-3 formation, with Oluwayemi in goal and a back three of Brown, Mayo, and Deas. This setup could allow them to be compact defensively while relying on the attacking trio of John-Jules, Kiltie, and Lyons to create scoring opportunities.

• Predicted lineup: Butland (GK), Tavernier (DF), Djiga (DF), Fernandez (DF), Meghoma (DF), Raskin (MF), Barron (MF), Bajrami (MF), Gassama (MF), Danilo (MF), Bajrami (MF), Miovski (AT)

Rangers are predicted to use a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Butland between the posts and a back four of Tavernier, Djiga, Fernandez, and Meghoma. This formation should provide a solid defensive base while allowing the attacking quartet of Gassama, Danilo, Bajrami, and Miovski to exploit any gaps in Kilmarnock's defence.

• John-Jules vs Meghoma: John-Jules will need to use his pace and skill to outmaneuver Meghoma.
• Thomson vs Barron: Thomson's ability to control the midfield will be tested by Barron's tenacity.
• Lyons (Kilmarnock): Lyons is crucial for Kilmarnock's midfield stability and creativity.
• Raskin (Rangers): Raskin's control and distribution in midfield will be key for Rangers' dominance.
