The forward has made a very impressive start to life with the Scottish Champions.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has backed Scott Sinclair to become a great servant for the club while speaking to the club’s official website.
The forward has proven to be a super signing for the Scottish champions this season after joining from Aston Villa.
Sunday afternoon saw him scoring his fifth goal in five league games, equalling the 80-year record held by club legend Jimmy McGrory.
He now has the McGrory’s record of scoring in the first eight games firmly in his sights.
Even if he fails to match that, his manager is backing him to establish himself among the club’s favourites.
“He’s 27 and he hasn’t had so many miles in the clock,” Rodgers told the club’s official website.
“He’s really enjoying his life up here in Scotland and he loves playing for Celtic and he will go on to become a great servant for the club.”
For now, Rodgers will be keen to see Sinclair continue to add to his goal tally this season.
He has already surpassed the three goals he managed in his last four seasons combined.
The Hoops have been heavily reliant on Leigh Griffiths to score their goals in the last few seasons and having someone else chipping in is a major bonus for them.
Sinclair has so far looked like being that man and they will be praying he can keep up this impressive form for the rest of the season and beyond.
