Sinisalo told he should've done 'a lot better' for Celtic moment vs Kilmarnock

Chris Sutton thinks Viljami Sinisalo should have done better for Kilmarnock's consolation goal against Celtic at the weekend. 

Brendan Rodgers' men stormed into an early lead as strikes from Reo Hatate, Daizen Maeda, and Cameron Carter-Vickers had them 4-0 up within the first 24 minutes.

Kilmarnock soon found the net themselves, however, as Danny Armstrong bagged nothing more than a consolation goal on the half-hour mark.

Armstrong picked up the ball out wide and lofted it into the top-left corner of Sinisalo's net. Sutton thinks the Finn should have dealt with it better: "He (Danny Armstrong) didn’t mean it," said Sutton [Sky Sports]. 

"Actually, Viljami Sinisalo. It’s a big game for him, and he didn’t get his feet going. 

"I thought he should have judged the flight of the cross a lot better there. That’s what it was. A cross."

Sinisalo has deputized between the sticks for Celtic recently in the absence of Kasper Schmeichel. The veteran stopper is currently on the sidelines with a shoulder injury but could return before the end of the season. 

Schmeichel, though, can still partake in certain aspects of training: "He's clearly not damaged his feet," said Rodgers at the beginning of the month. 

"So, he can use his feet and work on his touch and whatnot. I think the time we've been given has been five to six weeks by the medical experts, but that could be sooner.

"So, he feels good, he's got some mobility, he's got rotation there, but we just obviously have to be careful with the blade and his shoulders.

"He can do other things, so he's out on the training field and working on the technical side of his game."
