SCOTT SINCLAIR has posted his delight at grabbing a hat-trick at Pittodrie and putting in a man of the match performance to win Celtic all three points.

Aberdeen were intent on spoiling Celtic’s end to 2018 but a quality performance by the resurgent Sinclair put the Dons to the sword.

Sinclair is now virtually guaranteed a start at Ibrox.

The midfielder had to settle for a place on the bench the last time Celtic went to Govan in 2018 and will want to make up for lost time.

In the Englishman’s first season at the club, he was a constant thorn in the side of Mark Warburton’s Gers side.

Scoring goals and ripping their defence apart. With the mood Scotty has looked in the past two games in particular, you wouldn’t bet against the player doing something at Ibrox on Saturday.

The player was named BT Sports man of the match but it has to be mentioned Odsonne Edouard came on and help change the game.
