Rangers: Morelos should address speculation says Gerrard
Kilmarnock are missing just one player as Adam Frizzell continues his recovery from a broken foot.
Rangers midfielder Steven Davis is a doubt with a hamstring strain, while Jon Flanagan and new defender Filip Helander are still building up match fitness so will not be available.
Jamie Murphy (groin) and Graham Dorrans (calf) will also miss the clash at Rugby Park.
Killie boss Angelo Alessio has already found himself under pressure in Ayrshire.
The Italian got off to a bad start when Kilmarnock were dumped out of the Europa League by Welsh minnows Connah's Quay.
Alessio also signed just two new players having lost nine over the summer, meaning he has struggled to implement his preferred style of play.
But Rangers boss Steven Gerrard suspects his counterpart will take a leaf out of the Steve Clarke playbook.
"Every time we played Kilmarnock at home or away last season it was a tough game, a competitive game," Gerrard said.

"Under Steve Clarke they had a way of playing which was very organised with a lot of men behind the ball. They were very compact with not much space out there, with the idea to try to counter attack against you.
"They had some joy and success against us and we will wait and see if the new manager, Angelo, does the same thing with a similar game plan.
"It is difficult to predict because throughout pre-season they have played a different style which was quite open and they tried to play more football on the floor.
"It hasn't really worked out for them so, if I was to guess, I think they might go back to more of how it looked under Steven Clarke - but that's me guessing."
