Neil Lennon has a big decision to make on the left-wing ahead of Celtic’s clash against Sarajevo this midweek.
The Hoops go into the Champions League second leg already 3-1 up after a resounding victory in the Bosnian capital last week. However, one of the star men from that win won’t be available at Parkhead, and it has left Lennon with a headache.
In-form Hoops star Mikey Johnston will miss the Glasgow clash after sustaining a knock in last week’s victory. That means that the left-wing position is open for takers with two men in the reckoning.
Lennon has a big decision to make against Sarajevo
Scott Sinclair and Lewis Morgan both came off the bench to good effect in last Tuesday’s encounter. In fact, they teamed up for the third goal clincher with Morgan’s terrific delivery cleverly back-heeled into the net by Sinclair.
Celtic fans know what they will get from Sinclair and it hasn’t always been great. The Englishman’s strike in Bosnia was his first since February for the Hoops and many are questioning whether he has a future in Glasgow.
His potential departure may be escalated if Morgan starts against Sarajevo. The young Scottish international may have looked good in recent weeks but he made just one start last season before being loaned out to Sunderland.
Sinclair may take the hint if Morgan is preferred to him on Wednesday night. Meanwhile, the former St. Mirren man may wonder what else he has to do if he’s not chosen.
It’s a big decision for Lennon and one that has to be taken seriously.
