Neil Lennon revealed that Celtic are in talks with Scott Sinclair over a new deal.
Whatever happens this season, Celtic need reinforcements in the summer.
The Hoops, who have a 10-point lead over second-placed Rangers, could effectively clinch the Scottish Premiership title tomorrow and victory over Aberdeen in a Scottish Cup semi-final next month would take them 90 minutes away from a Treble Treble.
It’s been another great season for Celtic so far, but they definitely need a number of new players across several different positions this summer.
But it looks like the groundwork is already being laid for what would be the best deal that the Bhoys do for a while: getting Scott Sinclair to sign a contract extension.
Caretaker boss Neil Lennon confirmed to The Record today that Celtic are talking with the 30-year-old over a new deal, with his existing contract set to expire this summer.
Remember, this is a player who has 17 goals in all competitions for the Glasgow giants this season.
How can Celtic sign anybody who will have a greater impact than Sinclair has done over the past three years? Where is Head of Recruitment Lee Congerton going to find another winger who averages 19 goals per season?
Sinclair has had his critics, but the truth is that he is simply irreplaceable for Celtic.
Realistically, virtually anyone who comes in instead of him is a downgrade and that’s why if Peter Lawwell can tie him down to a new deal, it’s the best business Celtic will do for a while.
