Brendan Rodgers has told a press conference, via 90 Minute Cynic, that he is delighted with how consistent Scott Sinclair has been for Celtic recently, even if he ‘doesn’t always play well’.

The 29-year-old made it eight goals in seven games during Saturday’s 3-0 win over Hamilton, scoring Celtic’s last of the afternoon.

In doing so, Sinclair maintained an excellent run of goalscoring form which looked impossible only a couple of months ago, having scored just once in 10 games prior to this resurgence.

And Rodgers, who managed the English attacker at Swansea, has hailed Sinclair’s new-found consistency.

He told a press conference, via 90 Minute Cynic: “I’ve known Scotty for years, and okay he might not always play well, but his consistency in the last few months has been excellent.

“And what he’ll always do is score a goal. You can see his confidence is at a really high level.”

Sinclair, a £3.5 million signing during the summer of 2016 [The Times], has been a remarkable addition by Rodgers.

The Celtic winger scooped the Premiership Player of the Year during his first season in Scotland and although there has been a decline since, he is always capable of something great.
