What channel is Kilmarnock vs Rangers? Live stream, TV channel and kick-off details for SPFL Premiership first weekend

The opening weekend of the Premiership is finally here as the league campaigns get back up and running.

Michael Beale is getting ready for his first full season as Rangers manager and faces an away trip in their season opener. A short trip down the M77 is all they're venturing out on as they head to Rugby Park to face Derek McInnes' Kilmarnock side. After Celtic's dominance across all three competitions last season, Beale and Rangers will be desperate to get their hands on some silverware this season and put a halt to the welcome back party for Brendan Rodgers.

However, Killie will be a tricky test for them however. Winners of their League Cup group and assembling a squad with a solid blend of youth and experience, McInnes has been emphasising his desire to lay a glove on the Old Firm this season. A later kick-off time and the TV cameras being in attendance will only add to the atmosphere.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of the big kick-off.

The game takes place at Rugby Park on Saturday, August 5, with a 5:15pm kick-off.
