Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann says new signing Joe Hugill "proved he's going to be a threat" despite the heavy defeat at Ibrox.
Killie lost 5-1 but had to play with 10 men for all but the first three minutes after Dom Thompson was sent off, and Rangers scored twice in the closing stages to add some sheen to the scoreline.
Forward Hugill, 22, came off the bench for a second Killie appearance along with Aaron Tshibola, who made a debut in his fourth spell.
"Aaron's going to benefit from that because he looks a wee bit short [of fitness], to be honest," said McCann.
"But that's normal, because he's not been playing at the level we've been operating at in terms of training even, let alone games.
"Joe coming on looked sharp. He had a great chance where he runs down the side. He has shown everybody that he's going to be a threat for us, turning defences down the side.
"He didn't catch his shot right but I'm okay with that. I know that's a sore one and it might sound stupid but I think my boys did the club proud."
