The German coach, who is still searching for his first league victory since taking charge, has made four changes from the side that suffered a 3–0 defeat to Brann in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Jack Butland retains his place in goal, protected by a backline of James Tavernier, John Souttar, Derek Cornelius, and Jayden Meghoma. Rohl has opted for energy and control in midfield, with Mohamed Diomande, Nicolas Raskin, and Oscar Aasgaard forming a central trio.
Up front, the returning Danilo partners Bojan Miovski and Djeidi Gassama in what looks to be a more dynamic attacking setup as Rangers look to bounce back from their European disappointment.
Rangers Starting XI
Butland; Tavernier (C), Souttar, Cornelius, Meghoma; Diomande, Raskin, Aasgaard; Gassama, Miovski, Danilo.
Substitutes
Kelly, Aarons, Rothwell, Barron, Chermiti, Cameron, Djiga, Moore, Curtis.
Rohl’s decision to recall Danilo and Diomande signals a shift toward attacking intent as he seeks to deliver his first major statement at Ibrox. The manager has publicly demanded a stronger reaction following Thursday’s defeat, describing the European display as “unacceptable.”
Rangers enter the match knowing that victory is crucial if they are to keep pace with Celtic in the title race, while Kilmarnock arrive full of confidence after a solid start to the season under Derek McInnes.
Kick-off at Ibrox is at 3:00 PM, with thousands of home supporters hoping to see the beginning of the Röhl era truly take shape.
