A meromorphic function \(f(z)=z^{-1}+a_0+a_1 z+...\) is starlike of reciprocal order \(\alpha\) if \(-{{\,\textrm{Re}\,}}\left( f(z)/(zf'(z))\right) > \alpha\) for all z in the unit disc. Using the theory of first order differential subordination an admissible condition is obtained so that \(\Psi (\mathcal {Q}_{ST}(z),\mathcal {Q}_{CV}(z);z)\in \Omega\) where \(\mathcal {Q}_{ST}(z)=-(zf'(z)/f(z))\) and \(\mathcal {Q}_{CV}(z)=-(1+(zf''(z))/f'(z))\) implies that f is starlike of reciprocal order \(\alpha\) . Applying this result, various sufficient conditions are obtained for functions belonging to the class of all meromorphic starlike functions of reciprocal order \(\alpha\) , for \(0<\alpha < 1\) . Some sufficient conditions for functions f are obtained so that the image of \(f(z)/(z f'(z))\) lies inside the disc centered at \(-1\) with radius \((1 - \alpha )\) .
