Scott Sinclair has scored 17 goals in all competitions for Celtic this season but is he on his way out of the Scottish Premiership?

Scott Sinclair  of Celtic celebrates his winning goal during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Hearts and Celtic on August 7, 2016 in Glasgow, Edinburgh.

It seems that almost half of Celtic’s squad has been linked with a move away from Parkhead in the last seven days.

Dedryck Boyata, James Forrest, Kieran Tierney and Callum McGregor have already been tipped to follow Brendan Rodgers south of the border to Leicester City, while Filip Benkovic appears to be on borrowed time in green and white.

The Croatian centre-back is on loan at Celtic from the King Power Stadium after all.

And it seems there are plenty of questions surrounding the future of Scott Sinclair.

As reported by the Scottish Sun, Celtic have the option to extend a contract that expires in the summer but there is a real chance the winger could leave for free at the end of the season.

Sinclair is set to turn 30 this month and, ominously, is yet to hear from Peter Lawwell about whether he will be allowed to stay.

The former Manchester City ace was a revelation when he first arrived in Scotland, scoring 25 goals in a staggering debut season while winning the league’s Player of the Year award.

His influence has waned somewhat since then however and, while he has scored 17 goals in all competitions this campaign, he is no longer a guaranteed starter. But should he be kept on?
