Scott Sinclair scores hat-trick as Celtic maintain push for third treble in a row

Brendan Rodgers’ men secured their seventh win on the bounce this year against St Johnstone.

SCOTT SINCAIR SCORED three goals on Sunday as Celtic came out 5-0 victors over St Johnstone to book their place in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are vying to secure a third consecutive treble at Peakhead and got up and running in just the third minute with Sinclair’s first.

Captain Scott Brown, who recently agreed a new contract extension with the Hoops, blasted home a 30 yard effort to double his side’s advantage six minutes later.

James Forrest, returning to the side on Sunday, added a third seven minutes after half-time, with Sinclair adding two more to seal the victory and book Celtic’s place in tomorrow’s draw for the last eight.

    For all the doom and gloom talked about Tottenham this season (no signings, stadium delays, Poch to United, out of both domestic cups), they continue to jog just behind the top 2, while keeping the top 4 dogfight just out of sight in the rearview mirror. One loss and they’ll be branded bottle jobs again, but with Wembley form picking up, and a tasty tie against Dortmund coming up, I can’t help but be happy.

    I can’t suffer Michael Oliver either.

    He was the last one picked in school who:
    1) you stuck in nets cos he’s brutal at football
    2) you then told him to keep time cos he was crap in goal
    3) eventually made him referee cos he was brutal at everything else, then became a brutal ref

    Leicester should have been out of sight but Spurs more clinical with the chances they had
