Scott Sinclair has dismissed speculation that he is looking to quit Celtic.

The goal-scoring winger was one of the key signings of 2016 when Brendan Rodgers put his stamp on the side and ended up picking up multiple Player of the Year awards.

In recent weeks Sinclair has been used sparingly, starting the two recent Glasgow derbies on the bench as well as the Scottish Cup semi-final win over Aberdeen.

Celtic recently activated the one year option that they had on his contract but according to some that decision was made to protect his value and ensure a summer transfer fee if he moves on.

Despite falling out of the starting XI Sinclair has scored 17 goals so far this season.

On Sunday he captained Celtic for the first time and appears to be in competition with Jonny Hayes for a place in the starting XI at Hampden on Saturday.
