Derek McInnes expects his Kilmarnock side has the answers to deal with Rangers when they face them this weekend.
The Ayrshire side head to Ibrox on Saturday hoping a win could extent the gap between themselves and Dundee United at the bottom of the Premiership table. Managerless United host Aberdeen in the evening games and by the time kick-off comes around Killie could be seven points clear of the Tannadice men at the foot.
Heading into the match McInnes said he does not believes Rangers' Viaplay Cup final disappointment will necessarily help Kilmarnock. It was Michael Beale's first defeat as Gers boss after 15 games and the Govan side return to cinch Premiership duty against Killie hoping to keep pressure on the Hoops, who are nine points clear at the top of the table. McInnes admitted his sides away form in the league has been "horrendous" after only picking up two points from a possible 42.
