Overview
- Hearts lost the previous night and Celtic’s trip to Aberdeen was postponed, allowing Rangers to climb to second and close the gap to three points.
- Kilmarnock’s Dominic Thompson was sent off for denying Djeidi Gassama a scoring opportunity in the fifth minute, and James Tavernier converted the penalty.
- Bojan Miovski doubled the lead before Andreas Skov Olsen marked his debut with a goal, Oliver Antman added a fourth, and Mikey Moore capped the win; Greg Kiltie netted a consolation after a Jack Butland error.
- January additions influenced the game from the bench, with Tuur Rommens assisting Antman and Ryan Naderi making his Ibrox debut after the hour.
- Röhl voiced surprise at half-time boos and urged unity, while Kilmarnock boss Neil McCann questioned Thompson’s red card and argued Tavernier should also have been sent off.
