Celtic’s new fan favourite Scott Sinclair rubs salt into Aston Villa wounds

It really doesn't take very long to win over Celtic fans.

Scott Sinclair seems to have managed it in less than 100 hours as he made his second appearance for the Hoops on Wednesday night. Following up from his late winner over Hearts on Sunday, Sinclair netted a classy third for Celtic in the Scottish League Cup. https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_co_uk/status/762689360302972928 In a routine 5-0 victory for Celtic, throughout which they looked a class above the opposition, Sinclair cut in from the left and, in very little space, curled a gorgeous strike beyond Motherwell's 'keeper. It's early days yet but, already, Hoops fans believe they have found their new saviour. https://twitter.com/carolinefulton/status/763482454288138241 https://twitter.com/Jay_Dot_Craig/status/763481435890221056 https://twitter.com/snudge67/status/763481413295431680 https://twitter.com/JamieeBlack/status/763466109899116544 https://twitter.com/shiskabow/status/763458238385881089?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/patmanfarrell/status/763466256594923521 https://twitter.com/TomasHarrison12/status/763463203582054400 https://twitter.com/JamesWightman1/status/763485906263240704 https://twitter.com/UncleLroyCFC/status/763468558663684096 https://twitter.com/jaimey_maloney/status/763483500464988160 But one team's gain is another's loss, and we doubt Sinclair will have too many regrets about leaving Aston Villa. While he was enjoying that crushing victory, his former club were slumping to a humiliating 3-1 defeat against League 2 Luton Town in the EFL Cup. Many of Sinclair's former Villa Park team-mates were involved, including Jores Okore, who was guilty of a contender for worst own goal of the season (yes, even at this very early stage). Just under a year ago, the former Swansea and Manchester City man was scoring a hat-trick for Tim Sherwood's Villa in the same competition, as they beat Notts County in an eight-goal thriller. How times change.
