Hartson says Sinclair ‘has struggled this season’

John Hartson believes Scott Sinclair “has struggled this season” but believes the Celtic forward can turn things around. Sinclair hasn’t been at his best since the Hoops’ first treble-winning season in 2016/17, suggesting inconsistency will stop him being regarded as a legend at Parkhead.

The 29-year-old joined Celtic from Aston Villa in 2016 and went on to score and create 31 goals in 35 Premiership games as the Hoops lifted the title, League Cup and Scottish Cup. Last season, Sinclair contributed 19 goals in 30 Premiership outings but wasn’t at his best for a lot of the campaign.
