Scott is excellent i thought that second half against st johnston was one off his best in a celtic jersey. He created everything that half and constanly kept trying things

He reminds me a wee bit of Andy Cole. Misses more than his fair share of sitters but still scores a barrel load of goals as he's brilliant at getting into the right positions.

Folk (not directed at fatboab) were saying he wasn't playing as well as last season about 3 games in.

Clueless. :lmao:

If coming to play in Scotland can feel like a step into the wilderness, Champions League football can bring a player back into the spotlight again.

In many ways Scott Sinclair’s missing years came in England when he was kicking his heels in reserve squads at Manchester City and Aston Villa. As the upward trajectory of his career has taken hold at Celtic, however, there remains an indifference south of the border to Trebles or player of the year baubles.

On Tuesday night, though, when Paris Saint-Germain come to town, Sinclair can grace the stage that stands front and centre in football circles.

Serving a reminder to Gareth Southgate about the pace and menace he can add to a team can best be done in the Champions League. Sinclair represented his country at youth and Under-21 level and he was also a part of the Great Britain Olympic team in 2012.

“That’s the question,” said the 28-year-old, who took his tally to eight goals for the season in Celtic’s Friday night 4-1 win over Hamilton Accies. “All I can do is concentrate on what I’m doing. That means playing as well as I can for Celtic and seeing what happens.

“The Champions League is the stage. If I do well then it is just a case of waiting to see what happens.”

That bar will be raised considerably from Friday night when PSG line up in Glasgow on Tuesday. The French side have dominated the transfer news this summer having lured Neymar and Kylian Mbappe to the club for eye-watering sums.

This will be Celtic’s second experience of Europe’s premier competition under Brendan Rodgers and Sinclair believes they are now better equipped for the test.

“It is a great platform for us to show what we are all about,” he said. “We need to step up to the plate and get a result. I’d like to think we have improved since last season. We are a stronger group and hopefully we can learn from the mistakes last year.”

Historically, Celtic have risen to the fore on their own turf in the Champions League and while Sinclair was appreciative of the fact that no atmosphere, regardless of how vocal it may be, can really intimidate players who ply their trade in the upper echelons of the game, he did believe it helped give home players energy.

“It is all about belief,” he said. “When we go into the games with our fans right behind us it spurs us right on. The crowd are unbelievable. There is no better ground than paradise to play Champions League football. I’m sure it won’t faze them but it makes us raise our game.

“The crowd just lifts everyone. When you hear the Champions League music and the atmosphere with 60,000 people behind us, there is nothing better. Being part of the Champions League is what it is all about. And we are not here just to make up the numbers.”

I think this is largely overstated. He's always missed chances as well as scoring them.

He missed a couple of great chances on Fri as well as scoring two. I have no concerns about his finishing.

In that way, he was also similar to Larsson (who was only ever two games away from a "drought")

Infuriating tonight at times, as he has been in just about all his CL group games to date. Rabbit in the headlights first half with no conviction in anything he did.

Improved a lot 2nd half. Tbf, that was some decent opposition tonight.

Very poor tonight. the positioning at the start was obviously tactical because Rodgers changed it but on the ball he just looked overawed at times.

Don't agree with this criticism. He had a go, put in more effort than some others.

He did and he's a cracking player for us, possibly our best. :thumbsup:

It's a fact though, that in just about every CL game for us he has been woeful in possession for us in the final third when attacking a defender and heading towards goal. Seems to think too much about it and loses the ball or makes the wrong pass.

Might be the better quality opposition, I don't know, just can't think of a good game he's had for us yet in CL.

Definitely signs of improvement second half tonight though. :thumbsup:
