Scott Sinclair has given the most blunt answer possible to the suggestion that he should return to English football to take up a greater challenge than playing for Celtic.
Before joining Celtic the 28-year-old experienced the misery of relegation with Aston Villa as his career stalled and went into free-fall from the heights he enjoyed with Brendan Rodgers at Swansea.
Sinclair is in the process of completing a clean sweep of footballing awards with the SPFA Player of the Year award added to the gongs he collected as Celtic Player of the Year and Celtic players Player of the Year.
With Celtic three matches away from completing the SPFL campaign unbeaten and in the final of the Scottish Cup life couldn’t get much better for Sinclair.
Asked if he was thinking about a return to the English Premier League he told The Express: “Not at all. I’ve found my happiness and I’m enjoying every minute at Celtic and I wouldn’t think of a reason to leave.
“I wanted the enjoyment back so why would I want to leave and find myself back in a situation I was in last year or the year before? I’m in no rush to leave here. I’ve had all these moves before.
“I moved to City and it didn’t work out, I went to Villa and got relegated, and now I’m enjoying playing every week, scoring goals, back to my best. Why would I want to ruin that?
“All I’m looking at is enjoying every single moment, improving my game and coming back stronger next season.”
Sentiments that every Celtic fan will be delighted to hear.
