The Celtic winger insists he doesn’t concern himself with the opinion of others.
Scott Sinclair has admitted to Celtic’s official website that he hasn’t enjoyed a brilliant start to the season, but reiterates that criticism doesn’t affect him.
The former Aston Villa attacker bagged his first goal of the season on Saturday as Celtic beat Aberdeen 1-0.
Sinclair, who has played six games in all competitions, came off the bench to replace the injured Odsonne Edouard.
The 29-year-old, who won Premiership Player of the Year during his first season in Glasgow, has found himself on the bench slightly more often this year, but the former England international is adamant that he doesn’t care what people think about him.
“Criticism is always going to come,” he told Celtic’s official website. “When you’re not winning or scoring every game you’re going to get criticism because the past couple years that’s what I’ve been doing.
“It hasn’t been the best start personally, and for the team, but we have the character and belief in ourselves to push through and get through it.
“The criticism doesn’t affect me. I believe in myself and I don’t need people to tell me if I’m good or not. I know what I can do and the fans know what I can do. The first season I showed what I could do and I did that again in the second season.”
Sinclair is certainly a class act – well, when he’s on form. When he’s not in form he can be a mixed bag, but Hoops fans will certainly hope that he can get back to his best after breaking his duck this season.
