Rangers midfielder Bailey Rice did not suffer an injury during Kilmarnock's win over Hibernian despite speculation on social media following the match.
There had been suggestions the 19-year-old had picked up a problem after helping Kilmarnock secure their first Premiership victory of the season at Easter Road.
