It may be getting to the point where Scott Sinclair needs a move away from Celtic in the summer to get back to his best.

Sinclair arrived at Celtic in a £3 million transfer with his career in turmoil, after a very poor spell at Aston Villa, and in his first season he was a revelation.

The wide-man was in wonderful form, with Brendan Rodgers seemingly getting the England international right back to his best.

Celtic Player Scott Sinclair walks onto the Hampden pitch before their Cup Final at Hampden Park on November 26, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Sinclair netted 25 goals for Celtic across all competitions, including 21 strikes in just 35 Scottish Premiership appearances.

However, Sinclair’s form this term has simply not matched up to the same standards.

The 28-year-old’s intensity seems to have dropped, with concerns over his form starting to show.

James Tavernier of Rangers vies with Scott Sinclair of Celtic during the Scottish Premier League match between Celtic and Ranger at Celtic Park on December 30, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Sinclair has scored just nine league goals this time around, which shows a significant drop off in performance levels.

And although Rodgers continues to pick the former Swansea City man, he may have to consider putting Sinclair up for sale in the summer transfer window, if he has become distracted at Celtic.
