Celtic winger Scott Sinclair has spoken highly of teammates Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths to The Sun.

Sinclair was impressed with the performance of Dembele for Celtic against Manchester City on Wednesday evening.

The 20-year-old forward scored twice for the Bhoys in their 3-3 draw with City in Champions League Group C on Wednesday evening.

The France Under-20 international, who joined the Hoops in the summer transfer window after leaving Fulham at the end of last season, has established himself as an important player in Brendan Rodgers’s team.

Sinclair, who moved to Celtic from Aston Villa in the summer, has praised Dembele for his performance against City.

The former Chelsea and City winger has also praised striker Leigh Griffiths.

Griffiths, who is 26 years of age, has been on the books of Celtic since 2014 and is one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership.

The Scotland international has had injury concerns this season, but he remains an integral part of the team.

“Moussa Dembele was great,” Sinclair told The Scottish Sun. “He’s playing really well for us and he is scoring goals.

“But we have another unbelievable striker in Griff. We keep having to remind ourselves Moussa is only 20. He’s a big guy!”

Dembele has proved to be a massive hit in the Scottish Premiership and has been scoring quite regularly this season.

The youngster scored a hat-trick in the Old Firm derby against Rangers earlier this month.

Given the way Dembele is playing at the moment, manager Rodgers will find it hard to exclude him from his starting lineup anytime soon.
