Celtic winger Scott Sinclair has a questionable future at Parkhead.

According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic winger Scott Sinclair faces an uncertain future at the club as he awaits news about his contract.

The Bhoys have endured a testing seven days, losing boss Brendan Rodgers to Leicester City before bringing back former manager Neil Lennon as the interim replacement.

Wins over Hearts and Hibernian have certainly steadied the ship, but there is plenty of work to do behind the scenes – and that stretches to player contracts.

29-year-old winger Sinclair is out of contract this summer, and whilst there is a one-year option in his deal, he’s still waiting to hear whether it’s being activated.

It’s noted that Lennon is a fan of Sinclair, but there has been no communication from chief executive Peter Lawwell about a new deal.

Sinclair has endured ups and downs at Celtic following a 2016 move from Aston Villa, but has notched 60 goals in 150 games for the club.

Scott Sinclair of Celtic walks on the pitch prior to the Betfred Cup Final between Celtic and Aberdeen at Hampden Park on December 2, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

He’s a major favourite of Rodgers, having worked with him at Chelsea, Swansea and then Celtic, but a move to reunite at Leicester seems unlikely.

Celtic can of course leave this situation as long as they want, as the option will exist until his deal ends, but the longer this drags on, the more concern there will be that Sinclair leaves Parkhead.
