Rangers BOTTOM of the league for startling fact as Rugby Park blank sees recurring nightmare happen again

Rangers' blank in front of goal in their dramatic 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock has now seen Philippe Clement's side ranked as the joint-WORST team in the Premiership for finding the net away from home.

After league leaders Celtic and Aberdeen played out a thrilling 2-2 draw on Saturday, Rangers had the opportunity to narrow the gap to just three points and get themselves into the mix for title contention. But a woeful display of finishing inside the box made for a frustrating afternoon for the travelling Rangers contingent, and matters were made worse three minutes from time when Marley Watkins went up the other end to bag a late winner for Derek McInnes' Killie.

The loss leaves the Light Blues with just one win from their first four league matches on the road this season, with a 1-0 victory against Dundee United courtesy of Tom Lawrence's goal last month coming off the back of blanks in a goalless draw with Hearts on the opening day and a 3-0 hammering at the hands of Celtic.

And that sole goal away from Ibrox sees Rangers sit alongside Ross County as the lowest scorers away from home. In comparison, champions Celtic top the charts with 13 goals so far on their travels, netting seven in one game in their demolition of St Johnstone in Perth last month. Just like in the current league table, Jimmy Thelin's high-flying Aberdeen are their closest rivals for the number of away goals scored on seven, with Dundee United, Motherwell and St Johnstone all in close pursuit on six.
