ALLY MCCOIST reckons Aaron Ramsey should start for Rangers in the Europa League final - even though he didn't feature in the semi-finals.
The Wales international was not in the squad for the first-leg loss to RB Leipzig, and was only on the bench for the Ibrox win.
Ramsey also started at the weekend in the 4-1 win over Hearts when a number of key players were rested ahead of the Europa League final.
However, McCoist insists Ramsey is "absolute quality" and reckons the midfielder could thrive on the big occasion in Seville.
Asked if Ramsey should start on BT Sport, McCoist replied: "He does for me. I just think he's absolute quality.
"I think this would be the dream scenario for him.
"These are the games he plays in, these are the games he relishes."
However, McCoist is not certain whether Kemar Roofe should start after overcoming his injury worries.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst confirmed Roofe would be in the squad on Wednesday night, but McCoist is not sure he should start.
He explained: "I think Kenny is spot on, he's certainly got nine picks that'll be there for him, whether Kemar Roofe makes it or not I'm not sure.
"Whether he goes with him even if he is fit through the middle with maybe Aribo, Ramsey Kent. But it's all up for debate.
"If you're asking me if Ramsey's fit, does he start? For me, yes."
