Rangers 2-0 Kilmarnock: Antonio Colak and Alfredo Morelos on ... (Sky Sports)

Match report as Rangers beat Kilmarnock 2-0 at Ibrox; second-half goals from Antonio Colak, his first for the club, and Alfredo Morelos on his return from ...

There's no doubt Rangers were the better team, but we are disappointed with the goal we lose to Colak and then Morelos comes on. In the first half we were struggling to get some real good opportunities. "It was good to have him in the squad. But there has to be a huge dose of realism here," he said. "I thought the discipline was good. "And I'm happy for my two strikers. Antonio's first goal and Morelos as well. They have a rich array of talent and the two of them are good enough to seal the deal." "Just a couple of months ago we are trying to get out of the Championship and Rangers are competing in a European final. "But by and large we were hoping to get to half-time with 0-0 at least and I was pleased to do that. "For him, I think these first minutes of the season and after five months was very important and I am sure he will only get stronger with each game that he is going to be involved. Rangers kept going with the fans willing Morelos to get on the scoresheet and he shot wide in the 69th minute from an angle before being thwarted in the box twice by tackles.

Rangers vs Kilmarnock - LIVE updates (Scottish Daily Record)

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side look to bounce back on home soil after their midweek Champions League disappointment.

While living dangerously, they are still alive. He cannons a shot at goal and it crashes off the bar on the volley. Wright wins a free kick and tries to put Colak behind the defence. A rare moment in the Rangers box for Killie as Power goes tumbling in there. A corner is whipped into the Killie box and recycled into the box. Taylor gets a chance to head towards goal but it sails over inside the box. It's not been for the lack of trying but they are not able to break down Kilmarnock's narrow shape. Lawrence tries to create a chance on the edge of the box but he's crowded out. Rangers fans claim for a handball as Power makes a block in the box. It's a good day for the new recruit but his afternoon has come to a close. It's wide but it's the start of him going through the gears to full match sharpness. It's back to the bread and butter of domestic action for Rangers this afternoon.

Rangers are back at Ibrox with Kilmarnock visitors in the second weekend of the cinch Premiership season 2022-23.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst will be looking for a reaction against the newly promoted side to approach the second leg in a positive frame of mind. They drew 1-1 with Dundee United last weekend on flag day at Rugby Park.

But Derek McInnes' side are coming to Glasgow off the back of rescuing a point against Dundee United last weekend. The likes of Rabbi Matondo and Malik Tillman featured in Leuven, but had mixed fortunes, so they might be swapped out for more experienced stars on Saturday. At the back, John Souttar should be available for Rangers but Ben Davies is unclear as he travelled to Belgium but didn't feature. Rangers may have the second leg of their Champions League qualifying tie with Union Saint-Gilloise in their minds, but the visit of Kilmarnock presents a challenge.

Report: Rangers 2-0 Kilmarnock (Rangers Football Club)

RANGERS claimed a well-deserved 2-0 win over Kilmarnock at Ibrox this afternoon to make it two wins from two in the Scottish Premiership.

A loose ball reached Antonio Colak with his back to goal around 30-yards out. But the Colombian wasn’t to be denied. Rangers began the game well, and a super pass from Wright put Tillman in on the left edge of the area, but Killie managed to get bodies back to deny him on the line.

Rangers v Kilmarnock ratings: Colak, Davis shine while Yilmaz ... (Ibrox News)

Rangers registered their second league win on the spin as they beat Kilmarnock comfortably by a 2-0 scoreline in the SPFL.

Was extremely isolated in the first half and there was not much that he could’ve done to get involved. Combined well with Colak for the goal and looks like another sharp addition to this squad. He was constantly on the ball trying to get his teammates around. A joint Man of the Match contender was Davis. Had a pass accuracy of over 90 per cent. With the ball never really threatening his goal, he did not even need to make a single save. A confident game from the captain who never seems to age.
