OPINION
With his fourth goal in three matches since the winter break, Scott Sinclair is providing the ideal advertisement for the benefits of three weeks off at the start of the year. The winger put the gloss on Celtic’s second league win of the week with their third goal in the 3-0 home win against Hamilton on Saturday afternoon. It was his eighth goal in his last seven matches in all competitions and 13th of the season, not bad for a player who is supposedly a shadow of his former self. Given his talent and potent mixture of pace, skill and touch, Celtic fans expect more of Sinclair than almost anyone else in their side. In truth, he has underperformed over the last year, and has rightfully lost his nailed-on starting role. But, Brendan Rodgers will have to wedge the 29-year-old out of the team with all chisel and hammer if he turns this mini purple patch into an extended one. No wonder Bhoys were drooling on social media.

Forrest and Burke seem to link up really well, Sinclair is working his socks of and it looks like the old swagger is coming back!

Sinclair having a great time. At the moment. Stepped it up. Magic.

Brilliant. As divisive as Sinclair can be, he’s scoring for fun. Burke and Forrest have made a difference. Start your best team then mix it up.

I think Sinclair's been brilliant since the break and deserves a lot of credit for getting back to form. He's too often a scapegoat on here. https://t.co/SB4jC0x9OJ
