There's some dogged defending from Kilmarnock on the go at the moment.
Players throwing their bodies on the line and trying to track runners.
This is pretty high-energy stuff from Rangers, with some quality thrown in there to boot.
The visitors may do well to get in at the break just a goal down.

Jayden Meghoma is rapid.
Not sure there are too many Premiership players faster than him?
A couple of times already the Rangers left-back has knocked the ball past a beleagured Jamie Brandon and easily beaten him for pace.
Talk about after-burners.

Up the other end Rangers have another chance from a set piece, this one's halfway between the Kilmarnock box and the byeline.
James Tavernier sends it in, but the ball bounces off the top of the crossbar and behind.

Greg Kiltie plays a great ball across the Rangers box where Dominic Thompson is rushing in, but his shot zips wide of the far post.

Stuart Kettlewell is jumping up and down on the edge of his technical area in an effort to encourage his team to get further up the pitch.
Killie are being penned in by Rangers since the home side went ahead. The visiting manager wants more football to be played in his opponent's half.

Aberdeen fans won't be happy, there was a contentious decision in the build-up when Stuart Armstrong thought he was fouled. Don Robertson didn't agree.
Aberdeen have had a few chances but Hibs have probably edged it, led from the front by Kieron Bowie who has battled more than anyone up top.
Still tight at the moment - it feels like there's more goals in this.

It's only taken 15 minutes of his Ibrox bow for the first goal of the Danny Rohl era at Rangers.
Just the start he would have wanted.
Derek Cornelius
The first goal of the Danny Rohl era.
James Tavernier floats a wonderful ball into the Kilmarnock box from about 25 yards out and Derek Cornelius is first to it to head beyond Eddie Beach.

Mohamed Diomande is wrestling with Jamie Brandon inside the Kilmarnock box before the Rangers man goes down to shouts from the home support for a penalty.
Nothing doing, though.

When they're in possession, Rangers look like they're using a 4-2-4 formation, with Bojan Miovski and Danilo the twin strikers and Thelo Aasgaard and Djeidi Gassama pushed forward on the wings.
Looks quite enterprising and ambitious - will it work, though?

Kilmarnock defend really well inside their own area with the ball bundling around.
It's Danilo who gets the final attempt away, but it's blocked by a Killie body.

It's a big day for several of these Rangers players in particular, with Derek Cornelius, Mohamed Diomande, Bojan Miovski and Danilo restored to the starting XI.
Head coach Danny Rohl wants a fast start.
Kilmarnock, however, have the first shot at goal and they'll look to keep a big Ibrox crowd quiet as long as they can.

Hibs are ahead.
Aberdeen think Stuart Armstrong has been fouled in the midfield, but Hibs play on and referee Don Robertson waves it ahead.
Thibault Klidje is played through, and under intense pressure from Nicky Devlin he slots it past the keeper. Great composure.

Kilmarnock get the first chance of the game as Mohamed Diomande fails to clear just outside the Rangers box.
Marcus Dackers smashes it goalwards, but Jack Butland makes the save.
Rangers 0-0 Kilmarnock
Killie aren't an easy side by any means. They are strong, aggressive and can definitely put more bruises on Rangers today if they aren't careful. Danny Rohl needs to hope whatever talk he's given his players that they've listened. This can go from bad to worse real fast.

A perfectly observed minute's silence at Ibrox pre-match for those men and women who gave their lives in service of their country.
And we're now under way.

Aberdeen are in behind through Gavin Molloy...
He pulls it back to Jesper Karlsson, whose shot is blocked by what looks like a Hibernian hand.
However, Molloy was offside.

Goals from Klidje and Youan secure win for Hibs
Lazetic nets late consolation after Campbell effort ruled out
Aberdeen compound 6-0 thrashing by AEK Athens on Thursday
Elie Youan's late goal moved Hibernian up to third place in the Scottish Premiership as David Gray's side ended their poor run of away form and consigned struggling Aberdeen to another defeat.
Thibault Klidje scored the opener in the first half after several Aberdeen players stopped when they thought Stuart Armstrong had been fouled, holding off pressure from Nicky Devlin to slot home.
Hibs passed up numerous opportunities before substitute Youan picked the ball up on the halfway line and ghosted past two players before slotting past the keeper.
It almost got even better when Josh Campbell tucked in a Martin Boyle cross late in added time, but the goal was deemed to be offside.
Aberdeen went up the other end and scored a scrappy consolation through Marko Lazetic, but it was too late to create any real tension.
And Jimmy Thelin's side were left to reflect on a four-day spell in which they have conceded eight goals after Thursday's record European defeat by AEK Athens.
Klidje picked up plenty of plaudits for his performance against Livingston last weekend, but it was his partnership with Kieron Bowie that caught the eye here.
Little and large, they caused havoc among a shaky Aberdeen rearguard, who looked bereft of confidence after shipping six in Athens on Thursday.
That said, Hibs passed up plenty of opportunities. Klidje and Bowie should have scored early in the second half; Campbell hit a post; and Boyle blazed over when he should have hit the target. The signs are encouraging, though.
At the other end, goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger bailed them out twice, saving a Leighton Clarkson pot-shot and a one-on-one effort against Lazetic.
The xG suggests the scoreline was an accurate reflection of the game
But whenever Aberdeen got into good positions, they didn't look like they knew what to do.
Adil Aouchiche passed up a glorious chance early on, and Lazetic passed up that one-on-one before scoring a goal that came through hard work rather than skill.
Jesper Karlsson looked exasperated with his team-mates on more than one occasion, the Swede seemingly tasked with sharpening Aberdeen's cutting edge single-handedly.
The win against Dundee should have given them belief but the loss in Athens has rocked them - just like the 6-0 thrashing by Celtic at Hampden did last season.
Thelin needs time on the training pitch to protect his players from the storm, to rebuild their faith and trust in each other.
They've got more European games on the horizon though, as well as a midweek Premiership game. At least they've got next weekend off...
Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin: "The performance was not good enough. How we balance the team is not at the right level. We are not strong enough in the competitive side of the game. It was too easy for them to get into our box.
"I can control my job and focus on that, I can't focus on the noise. We know we need to win games, that's the only thing I focus on.
"To see the table, it's not a nice feeling right now. We feel we are going in the right direction. I am still convinced we can turn this round, we have to."
Hibs manager David Gray: "I'm delighted with the result because it's a difficult place to come. The players were fantastic and deserved the three points.
"We can only control our level. We selected a team to be on the front foot aggressive and I thought that worked well. History tells you this is a hard place to come and win."
Hibs host Rangers at Easter Road on Wednesday, while Aberdeen make the long trip to Kilmarnock (both 19:45 GMT).

After their 1-0 win in April, Aberdeen are aiming to win back-to-back league meetings with Hibernian for the first time since November 2020 (3 in a row).
Hibernian have won just three of their last 18 league visits to Aberdeen (D5 L10), although two of those have come in their last four (D1 L1).
Aberdeen have won both of their last two league games without conceding; they last won three in a row in November 2024 and last did so while also keeping a clean sheet each time in May 2024 – when the third game was a 4-0 win over Hibernian.
Hibernian have only won one of their last seven away league games (D3 L3), winning 2-1 at Dundee on MD1 this season.
Aberdeen’s Jesper Karlsson has created more chances from open play (13) than any player in the Scottish Premiership this season, though despite this is yet to record an assist in the competition.
