Yep, doesn't deserve a start. Edouard or Kouassi, depending on how we line up, would be far better options. He's held on to his place because he was still coming up with goals or assists despite not playing well, now that's dried up and Rogic and Roberts are back, plus Edouard looking very good in that inside left position Sinclair could be out of the starting line up for a while. Looks well short of confidence but still a very good option from the bench if we're chasing a goal. |

What if he has a good game and we fail to win the game? Is this all decided in advance? |

Ideal to come off the bench, introduce our top scorer...could prove a masterstroke if he comes on and scores the winner. Clearly not playing with the freedom and confidence he showed last season, but stepped up when needed to score some important goals already this season. Teams are doubling up on him, so needs to find answers but can't knock his goals return |

A lot aren’t in form but have shown flashes of head right and looking more confident recently...Sinclair has not, he looks anything but confident. Firmly believe gaffer will patch him on Saturday and rightly so. |

We don’t pick players cause you hope they have a good game - or you really want them to He’s not playing well at all I want him to rediscover his mojo - but he doesnt deserve to start the game No way |

From recollection I pictured him more one v one with fullbacks last season. The Commons comparison on second season syndrome is a good one

Not sure he's playing more central tbh, he's still been playing on the left just dropping mega deep at times and looks as if he's forgot how to beat/go his man (maybe due to being so deep). Can't help but feel that his drastic dip in form, along with other, may be down to the lack of creativity in our squad ATM (the Armstrong effect) and maybe why Sinclair feels the need to drop back into midfield and try and create? Regardless on current form he can't be near the starting 11 come Sunday. Bring him on last 20 to bag the winner, how's that for a confidence boost? |

Think most of the posts just want the Sinclair of last season back myself included. There is no harm in actually saying he has been brutal which he has recently & that he does not deserve to start at Ibrokes.

He's been rank rotten for months now. Should he be exempt from criticism? |

Doesn't deserve to start on Sunday based on his form in the last couple of months but, that being said, I reckon he will. |

Saw him live for the first time this season and I have to agree he looks well out of sorts. He was playing very centrally and he didn't look like he wanted the ball or was ever going to create anything. He is a fine player though and those saying he has one good season and then disappears are being unfair. If he can hit some kind of form between now and May then he would have had a constructive campaign. |

Not at all. He's definitely taking a lot more than his peers at the moment. I think he's been largely pish for a while too, but we're at the top of the league and his goals have been a large part of the reason why. I don't think he's worthy of a start at Greyskull but I equally wouldn't mind if he got it cos he's capable of turning those effers inside out. The trend though is towards him taking a disproportionate level of stick, just like other players have done in times past. |

Sinclair hasn't been poor all season. At the start of the season he was very hit or miss, but he played very well in a few games. Unfortunately, the "hit and miss" form has turned into just "miss" in the last few months. I think it would be a serious mistake to start him at Ibrox. |

This is a game for him to go out and prove himself. He shouldn't start but I bet he will do some damage from the bench. |

Yeah people always get that wrong, Greyskull is He-Mans castle. Also Sinclair shouldn’t be anywhere near the squad on Sunday |

He should be on the bench. Leaving him out of the squad altogether would be mental. |

Was discussing Sinclair with someone today and we agreed he should be nowhere near the starting XI on Sunday. His goals and assists earlier in the season masked a drop in performance, since the turn of the year it's actually dropped further and the goals and assists have dried up aswell. I don't think one season or a few games make a bad player but he looks utterly devoid of confidence, picks the ball up in decent positions then slows down to allow 2 defenders to come out and challenge him - doesn't seem to believe he's going to beat his man. Would much prefer we started with either a 3-4-2-1 with Edouard and Rogic behind Moussa or a formation similar to Zenit at home/the 3-0 game at Pittodrie where we load the midfield and blow them away. |
