Scott Sinclair has enjoyed nothing but domestic success since he joined Celtic and is looking continue the trend in Saturday’s William Hill Scottish Cup final against Hearts at Hampden Park. The 30-year-old winger was signed from Aston Villa by former Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers in 2016 and scored the winner against the Jambos at Tynecastle on his Ladbrokes Premiership debut. The Parkhead club, who recently secured their eighth successive title win, have the chance to clinch an unprecedented triple treble against the Tynecastle club at the national stadium. Sinclair said he was “delighted” that a one-year contract clause was triggered at the start of this month and added: “Hopefully we can make it a treble. Not just for myself but for the whole team. “It has been a great time and we have to make sure we get the job done. “Being part of the double treble as a player has been great. It is a massive achievement. “When I came up here you are not even thinking about double trebles or treble trebles, you come and work hard and see how it goes. “I couldn’t have asked for anything better. It comes down to hard work and the winning mentality of the players.” On staying at the Parkhead club for another season, the former Manchester City and Swansea player said: “I always wanted to stay. Everyone knows my situation and how I love this club and I want to be here. “I love the fans and playing for Celtic. I am here for another year and I am looking forward to it.” Topics Celtic, Scott Sinclair Linfield 0 Celtic 2: Sinclair, Rogic hand advantage to Scottish champions Celtic have two players among Europe’s 10 top-scoring midfielders Sinclair snatches late win on Celtic debut Sinclair treble leads Celtic to dominant sixth straight title Prospective Bolton buyers must show £25million proof of funds FIFA drops plans to expand 2022 World Cup in Qatar from 32 to 48 teams Bury players urge owner Steve Dale to walk away from club Inverness claim Dundee made ‘unsolicited’ approach for manager Robertson Tottenham star ‘will be a Real Madrid player’ after the Champions League final – report 7 new rule changes are coming to the Premier League – but are they good or bad?
