Brendan Rodgers has revealed that Scott Sinclair faces a few more weeks on the sidelines.

The former Aston Villa man pulled up with a hamstring injury just before half time against Barcelona and missed the Betfred Cup Final win against Aberdeen.

Sinclair will sit out Saturday’s trip to Motherwell and the Champions League clash with Manchester City but Rodgers is hopeful of having him back before the winter break.

 

Sinclair is Celtic’s only injury concern as they go into a hectic schedule of matches over the festive period.

Rodgers will be looking to use the depth of his squad to plot his way through the schedule which ends with a visit to Ibrox on December 31.

The hoops boss first priority however is Sunday’s trip to Motherwell on league business.

With the game kicking off at 12.15 an away win at Fir Park would put Celtic 11 points ahead of Hearts and Sevco before their weekend games kick off.
