Celtic’s Scott Sinclair has proven himself a fantastic addition so far.
Speaking to The Scottish Sun, Scott Brown has paid tribute to his “exceptional” Celtic team-mate Scott Sinclair.
The 27-year-old forward has been a revelation since joining Celtic in a £4 million deal (according to The Scotsman) from Aston Villa in the summer.
The English winger is leading the way for the Scottish Premiership golden boot with six goals, while he also has a League Cup goal under his belt.
His start with the Hoops has perhaps been overshadowed by how Moussa Dembele, a £500,000 signing from Fulham, has taken to life in Glasgow, with the Frenchman netting 10 goals in all competitions – including a hat-trick against Rangers.
Nevertheless, Sinclair, who worked with Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers at Swansea, has still proven himself a fine addition to the team, and Brown has sought to illuminate his good work so far.
“For me, Scotty has been exceptional. His movement, his willingness to run in behind and be unselfish has been excellent,” Brown told The Scottish Sun.
“I’ve been playing quite a bit on the left and it has been great to play alongside Kieran Tierney and Scotty because the two of them always demand the ball.
“You know Scotty can then beat a man or two and lay on a chance for Leigh or Moussa. He has been fantastic. He has real pace, but you also see his willingness to work off the ball.”
Celtic, four points clear of Aberdeen at the top of the Scottish Premiership with a game in hand, host Motherwell at Parkhead on Saturday.
