In analyzing the Scottish Premiership match that took place on January 2, 2024, between Glasgow Rangers and FC Kilmarnock, the spotlight has fallen on the former who demonstrated a solid performance resulting in a 3-1 victory.

The Glasgow Rangers capitalized on their dominance in the first half of the game by recording two goal-scoring opportunities at 40:54 and 44:07 respectively. Both of these timely goals gave the Glasgow Rangers a well-deserved 2-0 lead at halftime. However, FC Kilmarnock demonstrated a strong comeback early in the second half with a goal at 58:02 to cut the deficit to a single goal. This slightly shifted momentum towards FC Kilmarnock, but not long, as Glasgow Ranger got a quick response at 60:15, snatching the game back, and setting the final score at 3-1.

Apart from the goals, the data reveals that Glasgow Rangers had a more significant share of set pieces with a total of seven corner kicks compared to FC Kilmarnock's five. This gave them greater opportunities to capitalise in scoring from such positions, boosting their dominance and psychological advantage in the match.

In terms of discipline, FC Kilmarnock received three yellow cards, one more than Glasgow's tally. These bookings might not have directly impacted the final score but they potentially disrupted the rhythm and game-plan of FC Kilmarnock, as they had to play more conservatively to avoid any red card situations. On the other hand, Glasgow Rangers only received a single yellow card; keeping their players primarily off the referee's book ensuring they could maintain their style of play without significant alterations.

The offsides statistics might not be particularly significant due to the low numbers, however, it does show Glasgow Rangers' single incident of offside indicating an aggressive attacking style, frequently pushing up against the Kilmarnock defensive line, which may have contributed to their scoring opportunities. FC Kilmarnock on the other hand, did not register any offside incident, which could underpin a more cautious or tightly marked offense strategy.

In conclusion, Glasgow Rangers' victory was attributable to an efficient offensive approach and a disciplined defence. They demonstrated an ability to create and make the most of their scoring opportunities especially through corner kicks, while also ensuring they remained relatively disciplined, reducing the impact of potential disruptions from bookings.
