Celtic winger Scott Sinclair scored at the weekend.

Celtic central midfielder Callum McGregor has told The Scottish Sun that Scott Sinclair is looking fresh at the moment.

Sinclair is one of the best players in the Scottish Premiership and is a key figure in the current Celtic team.

Although the 28-year-old winger was among the goals and created chances in the first half of the season, his performances were not as great as they were during the 2016-17 campaign.

McGregor, 24, though, has observed that since the mid-season break, the 28-year-old has looked fresh.

The former Chelsea and Manchester City winger, who has been on the books of Celtic since the summer of 2016 when he joined from Aston Villa for a transfer fee reported by Eurosport to be worth £3.5 million, scored in the Hoops’ 5-0 victory over Brechin City at Celtic Park in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup on Saturday afternoon.

McGregor told The Scottish Sun: “Yes, you could see throughout the team that freshness is back.

“Scotty played a lot of games, we all did. Pretty much a year-and-a-half of playing every single game.

“But Scott’s got that freshness back in his game now he’s had that break. It was a great finish from him too.”

McGregor comments about Sinclair are quite encouraging, especially with Celtic set to feature in the Europa League next month.

The former Swansea City winger is one of the best players at Celtic Park, and him getting back to his best is only going to be beneficial for the team.
