Bajrami\u2019s last-minute equaliser secured a point against Dundee United<\/a> at Tannadice Park, and the travelling fans will now hope for a much better performance.<\/p>\n<p>With the Gers struggling to score goals in recent weeks, the German manager was expected to make attacking changes in East Ayrshire and has done so by dropping Danilo.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

performances of late, but Max Aarons\u2019 inclusion at right-back won\u2019t settle any nerves.<\/p>\n<p>Nasser Djiga and Emmanuel Fernandez keep their place in the starting lineup over <a

arguably have every right to ask for a meeting with Rohl in Govan ahead of the winter transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>Mohamed Diomande returns to the team in place of Danilo, and it looks like he\u2019ll be playing as the number 10, with Nedim Bajrami and Djeidi Gassama out wide.<\/p>\n<p><a

pre-Kilmarnock press conference that Moore would be available<\/a>, and the Tottenham loanee is on the bench.<\/p>\n<p>With Killie placed towards the bottom of the table, the former Sheffield Wednesday boss will surely put himself under pressure if the Glaswegian outfit don\u2019t get the win.<\/p>\n<p>Ibrox faithful will be confident after what they\u2019ve done against

season under Russell Martin.<\/p>\n<p>Fans in G51 will hope the German manager\u2019s changes will translate to a much-needed victory against Kilmarnock, who have won just twice in their last 14
