Bailey Rice, born on 4 October 2006 (age 19), is a Scottish defensive midfielder now with Kilmarnock. His career to this point is still shaped mainly by Rangers, which is not always a compliment or an insult – sometimes it is just the paperwork.
Rice’s senior football first came into view at Ibrox in 2022-23, when he made a league appearance as a teenager. Across three seasons with Rangers he made 10 league appearances, and that spell remains the main body of his senior record. He was also part of a League Cup-winning squad there.
He is now at Kilmarnock, wearing squad number 49. In 2026-27 he has made two league appearances and three League Cup appearances, giving him five appearances in all competitions for the club so far.
Rice is still in the early stretch of his career: a Rangers-developed midfielder now trying to build a more regular senior role at Kilmarnock. For now, the Rangers years remain the substantial part of the story.
