Who should partner Ryan Naderi in Rangers vs Kilmarnock - Bojan Miovski or Kevin Kelsy?

Derek McInnes face a tough call when it comes to his strike partnership when Rangers host Kilmarnock.

Killie come to Ibrox on 10 October, once the international break is over, and the Gers will be looking to continue their positive momentum.

The contest may well be decided by whoever McInnes decides to play upfront.

Ryan Naderi should be the first name in the mix, given his lack of action in the international break.

He will be fresher, given that he has only played 33 minutes since being called up for Czechia.

Ibrox News takes a look at whether Kevin Kelsy or Bojan Miovski should get the nod after the events of the break.

How have Rangers strikers fared on international duty?

Naderi has only played in the 3-1 loss to Spain, but he could feature when the Czechs face England on Tuesday.

Kelsy is the next freshest option, as he has played a total of 140 minutes in games with Japan and South Korea so far.

He could play again when Venezuela face Jordan on Tuesday.

Finally, Miovski has 156 minutes to his name so far in the break, after matches with Switzerland, Slovenia and Scotland.

His North Macedonia side will face the Swiss again on Tuesday, and he should be involved.

Therefore, it is a no brainer to go with a partnership of Naderi and Kelsy, but what do the stats say about the latter?

What do the stats say about Kelsy's time at Rangers?

McInnes described Kelsy as an "exciting player" when he signed, and he has shown glimpses so far of what he could become for the Bears.

He has played three Scottish Premiership matches so far, averaging 3.73 shots and 2.66 chances created per 90 minutes, according to FotMob data.

The eight-cap international has managed 7.46 touches in the opposition box per game, which shows that he is getting into the right areas.

It is a matter of time before he puts it all together and starts banging the goals in for fun, if the data is anything to go off.

It is a simple choice for McInnes, especially given that he has been used less for his nation than his teammate, Kelsy should start in the clash with the Dens Park side.

Let's just hope the longer travel doesn't hit him too hard.
