SCOTT SINCLAIR is now a former Celtic player but the Englishman has stated how proud he is of representing the Hoops for three and a half years.

The winger came in as one of Brendan Rodgers first signings from Aston Villa and never looked back.

Scotty burst onto the scene at Tynecastle as a second half substitute, scoring the winner in a goal that might just have been the catalyst for the invincible season.

During his spell at Celtic the player never lost a domestic trophy which is incredible to think about.

His first season was magical, while he couldn’t keep up the high performance level in his second and third season – the stats said otherwise.

He’s a player who has carved out his own piece of Celtic history and will be remembered fondly at Celtic Park.

Speaking to SunSport, Sinclair reflected on his time:

“Winning the treble-treble with the team collectively was really special.

“There’s no better thing to do than make history for the club.

“I had an amazing three and a half years at Celtic, winning everything up there and getting great support from the fans.

“That will always be such a proud time.

“Brendan Rodgers brought me in to produce and score goals

“It seems like I’ve had him throughout my whole career.

“I had him at Chelsea at youth team level, then he brought me to Swansea and we got promoted.

“Then he brought me to Celtic and I never looked back. He knew how to get the best out of me.”

Leaving Celtic in the January window to join Preston wouldn’t have been an easy thing to do but he wasn’t getting the game time under Neil Lennon which he enjoyed under Brendan Rodgers.

The midfielder scored his first goal for his new club at the weekend.
