Scott Sinclair scored a superb goal on Saturday to help Celtic defeat Aberdeen and fans are hoping it will spark a resurgence in his form.
The attacking midfielder has drawn plenty of criticism since the turn of the year for some pretty dire performances, but he was again trusted by manager Brendan Rodgers at Celtic Park against the Dons and it paid off.
He scored the only goal of a 1-0 victory, improvising a cheeky back-hell eight yards out to bamboozle opposition goalkeeper Joe Lewis and deliver the three points.
The Englishman looked absolutely delighted to score and was passionate in his celebration, demonstrating he still has plenty of desire to impress for the Hoops.
Fans are now hoping the goal sparks an extended period of form ahead of some important matches.
These supporters took to Twitter to share their thoughts…
Many have said Scott Sinclair isn’t interested. I think his celebration today would suggest otherwise. A long way to go but hopefully he kicks on from here ⚡️
P.S about time boyata got MOTM mans been outstanding since he came back into the team 🍀

Big 3 points, today and most certainly a big goal for Scott Sinclair. Chuffed for him. He badly needed that.
A bit like Wednesday night where first half we weren't up to much but better tempo second half. Only just one goal to show for it again but victory none the less.

Great to see Scott Sinclair on the scoresheet today and with a pretty spectacular winner to boot, felt he's had a alright start to the season when he's been given an opportunity (with the exception of Rugby Park) and think he's the key to Celtic getting back on track. #SPFL

Buzzing for Scott Sinclair. The guy has took so much stick cos of the high standards only he set himself. Many suggesting he’s not interested or doesn’t care anymore, that celebration says otherwise. Hail Hail scooter
