What should have been a title procession for Celtic seems to have turned into a bit of a crawl.

Following the 0-0 draw with Hibs, the Hoops still need four points to secure their eighth title in a row.

A few changes are required

Neil Lennon could opt to make a few changes for the upcoming clash against Kilmarnock on Saturday. One of those could be bringing Scott Sinclair back to the starting line-up.

Sinclair has been absent from the Hoops first-team in recent weeks, having to make do with substitute appearances here and there.

Guile and know-how to win the game

However, he is an experienced title-winner with the Hoops, and could provide the guile and know-how that will give the Hoops the three points required.

Another reason that Sinclair might return to the team is his goalscoring ability. The Hoops have struggled to find the next in the league since Neil Lennon took over as interim boss.

They have scored only nine goals in seven league matches. That is nowhere near good enough, and the return of a man with 17 goals this season to the starting line-up could help solve that problem.

It is a bit odd that such a key player in the last few seasons has been left out of the side in recent weeks. Still, Sinclair has a chance to make up for lost time against Kilmarnock on Saturday.
