Bailey Rice, born 4 October 2006 (age 19), is a Scottish defensive midfielder now at Kilmarnock. His career to this point is still shaped mainly by Rangers, where he made 10 league appearances across three seasons and picked up a League Cup win.
That Rangers spell remains the part of the CV that carries the weight, even if the senior footprint was modest. Rice was around the first-team picture young, with his league involvement spread rather than established, which is often how these stories go before a player has to find proper minutes elsewhere.
At Kilmarnock in 2026-27, he has made four league appearances and three more in the League Cup, giving him seven appearances in all competitions. His form has been steady if unspectacular, which is no bad starting point for a young midfielder trying to build a more regular senior career.
Rice is still at the stage where promise has to turn into volume. For now, he is a young Scottish midfielder whose early profile was made at Rangers, with Kilmarnock offering the next test of whether he can move beyond that brief first chapter.
