5 Scotland-based players good enough to play in the Premier League

#3 Scott Sinclair (Celtic)

Sinclair has started to enjoy his football again at Celtic

The only player on this list with previous Premier League experience, Sinclair has been around English football; Chelsea sent him out on loan as a youngster a ridiculous 6 times. When he finally got the chance to settle at a club, Swansea, he started to show his talents.

Under his current Celtic boss Rodgers, Sinclair scored an incredible 19 goals from the left-wing to fire Swansea to the EPL for the first time in their history.

He then didn't look out of place in the top division, contributing a decent tally of 8 league goals. His all-round play impressed, though, as his directness and burning pace caught the eye of many, including Manchester City, for a reported £8 million.

This, sadly, was just the wrong move for the player and he never stood a chance making it into their cash-rich first team, ending up with 13 appearances in 3 miserable seasons.

Since venturing to Scotland, Sinclair has looked like his old self, and has an amazing 30 league goals in just 58 games. He won the Celtic supporters' player of the year and the Celtic players' player of the year for 2016/2017 and provided flair in the attack that helped the team with their famous unbeaten season.

Sinclair is still only 28 and will probably fancy another chance in the Premier League. He's certainly good enough but he needs to find the right fit for his style: during his other years in the league with Aston Villa and West Bromwich, his electric wing play didn't suit playing in struggling teams. His game, therefore, didn't have the space to thrive.

When he played for Swansea, Rodgers's team kept a lot of possession in the midfield but looked to release their wide players as much as possible, utilizing their speed and trickery, and this is what Sinclair needs. If a team can provide that, then he has all the attributes to play in the Premier League yet.
