Rangers icon Barry Ferguson reckons Aaron Ramsey will be demanding he starts every game that remains during his Ibrox loan stint.
The Welsh international has been in and out of Giovanni van Bronckhorst 's team since joining until the end of the season from Juventus in January.
After netting the only goal for his side in a 2-1 defeat to Celtic last Sunday, Ramsey was dropped as Braga inflicted a narrow 1-0 loss upon them.
It's left Ferguson puzzled as Rangers trail their rivals by six points in the title race, and now needing a two-goal win to remain in Europe.
Questions over the former Arsenal star's fitness have remained after missing the early stages of his short-term deal through knocks.
But, speaking on Go Radio, the Record Sport columnist believes Ramsey will now be battering down van Bronckhorst's door for regular starts ahead of this Sunday's trip to St Mirren.
He said: "I thought in the Celtic game, he had a good one. He gets off to a flier with the goal and then some decent passages of play came through him.
"Did I think he would play against Braga? But that tells me he is still not ready to play three games in a week. He isn't 100% fit.
"There's no doubt in my mind next Thursday (the second leg against Braga) he starts that match. But you also need to live in hope that you can catch Celtic.
"For me, Ramsey has to play. I would be banging down the manager's door and saying I am ready, I am available. Whenever you need me, I'm ready.
"There's six weeks left of the season and potentially 12 games. He could be the difference in these big games, and Rangers have a number of them coming up. He has to start every game."
