Scott Sinclair has found opportunities hard to come by this season and could be on his way out in January after making 167 appearances for the Hoops.

The 30-year-old has started just once and made six substitute appearances for Celtic this season and is being kept out of the side by James Forrest. Despite scoring twice in his brief moments on the pitch, Neil Lennon does not see him as a starter, and now could be the time for Sinclair to seek new opportunities.

The Englishman has been with the Scottish club since 2016 and has scored over 40 goals for the club. He picked up the PFA Scotland Player of the Year award in his debut season and has been a crucial part of a Celtic side that has enjoyed so much success in recent years.

Sinclair will be keen to find a club that will give him regular minutes as he enters the twilight of his career. As reported by the Sun, the winger discussed his future after the club’s 2-0 defeat to Cluj. He said: ”I just want to play, everyone who knows me is aware of that.

”I haven’t really spoken to the manager about leaving. If it was my choice, I would love to stay and fight for a position. But this season has been tough. I want to play football. I want to enjoy my football again.”

Celtic are currently sat top of the Scottish Premiership, five points clear of second-place Rangers. Neil Lennon may look to strengthen in January, which could move Sinclair even further from first-team action. The upcoming transfer window could be the perfect time for him to seek a fresh start.
