Scott Sinclair’s future at Celtic is currently uncertain. The attacker has been linked with a move to Preston North End.
With the English transfer window closing in under a week, any more for Sinclair will happen soon. However, he could still be handed a start for Celtic in an upcoming game.
The opening league game of the season could be an ideal match for Sinclair to return to the Celtic first-team. Celtic face St Johnstone on the day that the league flag is unfurled.
Manager tempted to rest players
With the Hoops travelling to Romania to play Cluj only five days later there could be a temptation for Neil Lennon to rest some of Celtic’s most important players.
As Sinclair is currently not a first pick in the bigger games, this seems like a good game for Sinclair to make his return to the side.
Could force his way back into first-team
Perhaps if Sinclair turns in a match-winning performance against St Johnstone, he could force his way back into the Hoops’ first-team.
Sinclair has been a key man for Celtic in the last three seasons. But since Neil Lennon took over from Brendan Rodgers, he has lost his place as a regular in the team.
However, Lennon knows the qualities that Sinclair can bring to the Celtic side. Which is why Sinclair should start for the Hoops against St Johnstone on Saturday.
