Rangers have been reborn under Philippe Clement which means they might not go into their Rugby Park encounter with the same nerves as they might have before his arrival.
The Belgian has helped make a habit of leaping obstacles with relative ease. Take Saturday for example. Third placed Hearts were the visitors to Ibrox for what many thought would be a tough test but they made a mockery of that with a five-goal thrashing.
Now it's Kilmarnock away and all the challenges that poses. Midweek fixture under the lights on a plastic pitch. A dogged Derek McInnes side.
And an opening day Scottish Premiership defeat at this very venue. Clement described it as the "danger" that lie ahead in this nip and tuck title race with Celtic.
