Former Celtic attacker Scott Sinclair scored an absolute worldie on Tuesday night.

Sinclair, who left Celtic to join Preston North End in January, lobbed Asmir Begovic from 35 yards in last night’s 3-2 win away to Bournemouth.

The 31-year-old had an extemely-successful stint in Glasgow after joining in 2016.

The former Chelsea and Manchester City talent won 10 trophies during a three-and-a-half year spell with the Hoops.

He was a popular player among fans of the Parkhead club after scoring 62 goals in 167 appearances en route to the Treble treble.

Some supporters feel that Celtic boss Neil Lennon and chief executive Peter Lawwell should’ve done more to keep him at the club, with Sinclair struggling for regular football at the time of his departure.

Here’s how Bhoys fans reacted on Twitter to his stunner against the Cherries.

Nine Championship goals in 25 starts this calendar year ought to suggest that Sinclair is definitely enjoying his football down South again.

Celtic have some fine wide players, like Mo Elyounoussi for example, but is the Southampton loanee as good as Sinclair was? Potentially not.
