It is claimed the Celtic winger could be sold amid interest from Sheffield United and Middlesbrough.

Celtic fans are reacting to reports linking Scott Sinclair with Sheffield United and Middlesbrough.

The Scottish Sun claims Sheffield United are ready to kick-start their summer spending with the Celtic winger, who it adds has also attracted Middlesbrough’s interest and could be allowed to leave for £2 million.

Sinclair has scored or made 94 goals in 160 games since his 2016 move to Celtic from Aston Villa.

But with James Forrest, Mikey Johnston, Jonny Hayes, Daniel Arzani, Karamoko Dembele and Lewis Morgan all capable of playing in his position – not to mention the incoming Maryan Shved – it’s perhaps not inconceivable that the 30-year-old could move on.

One position in which Celtic aren’t so blessed with depth is right full-back. Interestingly, the Bhoys have already been credited with an interest in George Baldock, who occupies that very role for Sheffield United.

And some of a Celtic persuasion would welcome a trade.

This is what they’re saying about the rumour on Twitter…
