    I'd be stunned if Sinclair starts.

    I see no reason to rest Brown. Been in good form lately and has just had 2 weeks R & R.

    I wouldn't 'rest' him, but I wouldn't start him. There is no need to play a holding midfielder at home against a team who will play with eleven men behind the ball. We need players who can unlock a stubborn defence.

    He was dropped against Dunfermline who played ultra-defensive and it was one of our worst performances of the season.

    Broony also has a knack of dropping back to allow Ajer to go on one of his runs or cover for the full backs if they drive on. Something that Ntcham doesn't do.

    There's no way I'd be dropping Broony from this, he'll be raring to go after the international break.

    We also played with Christie, McGregor and Rogić as the midfield three for a while last season, and played our best football of that campaign, so I don't think that game is necessarily indicative of a trend.

    Brown is better suited to playing against more attacking sides, I feel.

    I wouldn't disagree with that but that was with Christie playing as an 8 and grafting. In the goal-scoring form he's in it would be mad to drop him back from the no.10 spot.

    Ntcham doesn't give you that same graft or defensive cover.

    As much as Livingston are defensive, they're still capable of getting up and we can't underestimate them or think this is going to be a training session.

    Broony is arguably in the form of his career at the moment. If he's fit he should be starting.
