Lewis Mayo wants Kilmarnock to focus on themselves, rather than focus Rangers’ woes, ahead of their clash on Sunday at Ibrox.
The Rugby Park side had enjoyed a good start to the season but were humbled 3-0 by Hearts last weekend, while Rangers are also coming into the game on the back of a 3-0 loss.

“Naturally, there’s a bit of attention on them with some of the results they’ve had but from our point of view, we need to get ourselves right,” Mayo said.
“The start was probably one of the few positives from the Hearts game. But there was a lot about it that we didn’t like and probably the first game this season from our point of view that when things haven’t gone our way, we’ve not responded well throughout the game.
“But the game on Sunday has its own challenges and even the venue can be a hard place to play as well.”

Ibrox has been a tough crowd for Rangers of late, with fan protests and banners held aloft taking aim at the former manager and the board.
“Naturally the crowd starts to play a part in the game as well,” Mayo added. “It could be an advantage for either team, depending on who’s on top and how the game is going.
“It’s obvious that there’s a bit of frustration from their side and maybe we can tap into that. But the last thing we want to do is give them a lift to give them any encouragement.”
