    Exactly we need key areas strengthening.

    An incredible goal-scorer for us but he's no longer good enough to be first choice. If our recruitment was better i'd be fine with him leaving and us properly replacing him with somebody to push Johnston, but i just dont see it.

    Im not bothered with him going, too soft for me and doesn't make enough of an impact. Seems like hes been unhappy for a year or two - probably used to a 50 game season then 6 weeks off in the summer and can't handle the schedule here.

    Needs replacing though as I was happy with Johnston first choice and Sinclair to fall back on.

    Left back is now a priority position over all other's for me. Tonight hammered that home..

    Then we need a powerful midfielder. A box to box runner type. I watched tonight us lose the midfield battle a few time's and weren't mixing it well enough.....til Ntcham came on funnily enough..

    Then a left winger/10. Can't rely on Christie and Morgan for the whole season and Rogic is always *. Need someone who can play both roles as Sinclair is away and Morgan isn't good enough..

    Our handling of him is * poor.

    Time and time again great servants are dealt with like a piece of *. Needs sorting.

    No Celtic fan can look me in the eye and say he’s a poorer option than Lewis Morgan.

    I would imagine Lennon has had a straight up conversation with Sinclair and made it clear that he isn't his #1 pick at this particular time.

    Playing him on the eve of the English transfer window closing when we could receive a multi-million pound offer that would allow us to fund the signing of a Lennon prefers would be idiotic.

    I get that you're pro-Sinclair and champion his indisputably good statistics but if he's not the managers #1 LW then it makes no logical sense to pay him the highest wage at the club.

    Boss Lennon confirmed that Scott Sinclair, who was missing the squad in Cluj, has also attracted interest with the English transfer window set to close at 5pm on Thursday.

    Preston and Sheffield United are sniffing around the winger and the manager added: “A player of that quality, I’m sure there will be interest.”

    Letting him and KT go on the same day ....the left side that made the Treble Treble .

    We need to get some money spent.

    If he gets shunted out the back door to some nobody club in England in order to make a quick buck then he'll have fulfilled his journey as a Celtic legend.

    60 goals in 3 years from a left winger and we can't get him out the door fast enough

    Unless he's wanted to go, or caused some kind of stir behind the scenes,he's been treated terribly. Fair does, it will be a big wage shifted, but we won't reinvest the cash and as frustrating as he could be, we will struggle to replace his numbers.

    His time has come, he’s not a player that sticks around for a long time at clubs as its clear to see he looses his motivation and needs a fresh challenge.

    Thanks for the memories Scotty, I think this is best for both parties, yes he can still offer a lot but not near the level of his first season and certainly not worth £35K per week.

    So what we’ve done in that instance then is extend his contract, giving him that wage literally a matter of weeks ago, in an attempt to make money on him.

    A pivotal figure of a Treble Treble dealt with the exact same way Bobo Balde was.

    He would’ve been fantastic last night. I honestly think if we started Sinclair over Morgan we would’ve won comfortably against Cluj. That left side just needed a bit of experience and composure.

    It should be him a Johnston taking turns on that left side. He could mentor Johnston and he would still get plenty of game time.
