SINCLAIR NOT HERE FOR SIGHTSEEIN­G THIS TIME

- BY MICHAEL GANNON

SCOTT SINCLAIR is determined to be the main man for Celtic tonight after feeling more like the invisible man on his last visit to Bayern Munich. The Hoops ace was part of the Man City squad who took on the German giants in the Champions League in 2014. But Sinclair (left) felt left out - as he didn’t even bag a seat on the bench. The attacker admitted he suffered some lows after losing his love for the game when at Aston Villa. But he’s making the most of his starring role with Celts and he’s determined to make an impact in the Allianz Arena this evening. Sinclair said: “I have been here before with City so it’s nice to come back and be more involved. It’s a huge difference to the last time as I wasn’t involved at all. I wasn’t even on the bench. “It just goes to show the progressio­n in my career but I want to keep progressin­g and improving. I’m at Celtic and enjoying playing Champions League football. “I am in a much different head space. I am enjoying playing, I’m scoring and winning.” Sinclair will be one of Celtic’s big threats in attack - but he admitted the Hoops will need to keep tabs on Bayern dangerman Arjen Robben. The Dutch master was a teammate of the winger when the pair were at Chelsea and he insisted the veteran superstar is still one of the best in the business. Sinclair said: “He was unbelievab­le at Chelsea I looked at him as a wide player and some of his touches were unreal, you just look at the way he can go past players. “At that time at Chelsea there were guys like Damien Duff, Shaun Wright-phillips, Joe Cole - as well as Arjen. “Arjen was right up there. He’s world class and you can see he still has his qualifies.”
