Ibrox View: The Rangers omen that should give McInnes real confidence vs Kilmarnock

Rangers are preparing to face Kilmarnock following the international break, aiming to maintain the momentum gained from consecutive victories against rivals Celtic. Scott Mason writes that Rangers' historical record following international breaks provides a positive omen, with the club suffering just one defeat in their last five post-break matches. Notably, that single defeat came against current Rangers manager Derek McInnes during his time at Hearts.

Across those five fixtures, Rangers collected 10 points out of a possible 15 through three wins and a draw. Mason argues that Rangers must use this strong trend to establish consistency, target the top spot in the Scottish Premiership by November, and secure a place in the Scottish League Cup final against Aberdeen.
