Bailey Rice has joined Kilmarnock from Rangers on a loan deal until the end of the season, subject to international clearance. Prior to agreeing to a new contract at Ibrox this summer, Rice had significant transfer interest from clubs around the UK and Europe.

The Scottish Sun reports that Bailey Rice is nearing a loan move to Kilmarnock for the 2026/27 campaign. Rice has agreed a one-year contract extension with Rangers, with the club holding an option for a further year. Rangers confirmed the contract deal last week.

The initial plan was for Bailey Rice to be put out on loan, and Kilmarnock was interested in taking him after the success of Findlay Curtis last season. Former boss Danny Rohl had approved the loan, but it has now been put on hold. New manager Derek McInnes wants to see Rice in pre-season before making a decision on his future.
