Rangers win a couple of corners in quick succession but the Killie defence holds firm.

Barrie Mackay slips a pass through to galloping full-back in the inside left channel and the Rangers skipper's fierce shot is palmed away by goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald.

Josh Magennis hides his frustrated face inside his jersey as the Kilmarnock striker's downward header flashes inches wide of the far post. Greg Kiltie teed up the chance with a great cross from the right.

Kilmarnock may be underdogs against a team from the division below them but they have made a decent start here, knocking the ball around with some zip.

Killie on the attack straight away and the visitors win an early corner as Rob Kiernan slides in to clear. The set-piece is worked low to Josh Magennis but his shot on the spin is blocked by a defender in blue.

And we're off in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup, with a place in the last eight up for grabs at Ibrox.

Not long to go now...

Win, lose or draw, this is likely to be a short-lived stint in the virtual sheepskin jacket for Lee McCulloch. 

Kilmarnock have been talking to former Motherwell and Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies. Will he be in the dugout next time?

Rangers boss Mark Warburton is out to beat Premiership opposition, saying he's fed up hearing about that St Johnstone win at Ibrox earlier this season.

Promotion is the main aim but he's got his eye on a good cup run too.

"We want to go as far as we possibly can," he said yesterday. "It's not a distraction, far from it. Every game we go into we want to win. It will be a tough test and Lee is bringing a team back here, but we're in good form, we are at Ibrox, we are Rangers, and we go into the game full of confidence." 

"I make Rangers favourites at Ibrox," says BBC Radio Scotland pundit Craig Paterson. "Kilmarnock have got to look at what St Johnstone did in the League Cup and hit Rangers with pace and quality up front. Josh Magennis certainly supplies that pace but who will get up and support him?"

Rangers had no trouble against Killie in the Scottish Cup last season, cruising to a 3-0 fourth round win.

Kris Boyd was on target that day. He is in the away dressing room today and will be among the substitutes.

Rangers stick with the same side that won 1-0 at Raith Rovers on Tuesday.

Recent arrivals Michael O'Halloran and Billy King are cup-tied.

Lee McCulloch makes five changes on his caretaker boss debut, with his old Ibrox buddy Kris Boyd among those dropping out.

New Killie signings Gary Dicker and Lee Hodson are thrown straight in.

Rangers: Foderingham, Tavernier, Kiernan, Wilson, Wallce, Ball, Halliday, Zelalem, McKay, Miller, Waghorn. Subs: Bell, Shiels, Law, Clark, Forrester, Thompson, Holt.

Kilmarnock: MacDonald, Smith, Balatoni, Findlay, Hodson, McKenzie, Slater, Dicker, Obadeyi, Kiltie, Magennis Subs: Brennan, Ashcroft, Hamill, Higginbotham, O’ Hara, Frizzell, Boyd.

Here's what we have in store...

Lee McCulloch is no stranger to Ibrox but the former Rangers captain may feel a bit strange today as he takes charge of Kilmarnock for the Scottish Cup fifth round tie.

The 37-year-old spent eight seasons with Rangers before moving to Rugby Park as a player-coach last summer. He's in the hot seat temporarily following Gary Locke's resignation last weekend.
