The Story in 60 Seconds

Rangers loanee Bailey Rice is reportedly facing development challenges during his temporary spell at Kilmarnock. The 19-year-old midfielder, who signed a new contract with Rangers in the summer, recently started in Kilmarnock's 1-1 draw against Hearts but struggled to make a significant impact on the ball.
