Sinclair: We were miles off at start
SCOTT SINCLAIR admits he is so disappointed by the slow start in the thumping by PSG that is so uncharacteristic of this Celtic side.
The Scottish champions were slow off the mark and were 3-0 down before halftime at Celtic Park.
And the English winger knows that really cost his men as the French super side coasted to a 5-0 success..
Sinclair said: “It was really disappointing. The first half an hour we started off really poorly as a team.
“In the second we came back a little bit more lively and created some half chances.
“But the result was so disappointing. The way we started was not how we normally start games and it showed.
“The way they came forward forced our attacking players to defend more than we are used to.
“Me and Patrick Roberts had to get right back and sit in. We tried to counter but sometimes the passes were loose.
“The manager wasn’t happy at half time. He said that wasn’t us.
“When we went out in the second half we created a bit more and tidied up a bit with some of the passes. But that’s all we could have done.”
Celtic’s next Group B appointment sees them travel to Anderlecht in a fortnight’s time and defeat to the Belgians would leave their hopes of progression hanging by a thread.
But Sinclair said: “Every game you play in the Champions League has pressure no matter if you win, lose or draw.
“You just need to keep bouncing on so we’ll put this one to bed and move on.”
