AARON RAMSEY has endured a slow start to life at Rangers.
The on-loan Juventus midfielder has been hampered by injury since he arrived on Deadline Day in January.
He started the Scottish Cup match against Dundee on Sunday as he got some much needed game time.
And as he comes back into the fold for Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men, Ramsey has been backed to play a big role in the destination of the Premiership title.
Manchester City hero Trevor Sinclair reckons his former Cardiff team-mate poses a "threat" to Celtic's current three point lead at the summit of Scotland's top flight.
He said: “Aaron hasn’t played much for Rangers yet but, then, he’s not played much football before signing.
"The medical staff and fitness people will have wanted to get him to a certain level.
“Once he’s up and running, I’ve no doubt he’ll affect the team - and the league.
“He’ll do that with goals, assists, energy and quality which we’ve seen over the last 15 years and that’s not going to change.
“He can play different positions and isn’t a bad finisher either. He’ll have a lot to offer. Hopefully not enough! But I think he could be very influential.
“You see the performances he puts on for Wales, what he did for Arsenal, how he played for Juve when allowed to.
“He’s a top-class performer and he’s going to be a threat to Celtic, for sure.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
