Scott Sinclair celebrates first goal in Scottish Celtic Cup 5-0 win over St Johnstone
The second round of Scott Sinclair's history was decisive: Celtic beat St Johnstone 5-0 to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Scottish Cup.
The Hoops striker pioneered in the opening game at the third minute, before Scott Brown made a 30-yard deep move. Six six minutes later.
Returning winger James Forrest added a third in the 52nd minute. Sinclair then scored two more goals in a one-sided affair to seal the place of the cup holders in Monday's draw.
Brendan Rodgers' team has now won seven consecutive games since the start of the year, scoring 21 goals in the process without conceding.
The chances of visitors suffering a Cup shock at Celtic Park came to an end almost before they started because they were late in the beginning.
Scott Brown's goal against St Johnstone was his first for two years
Oliver Burke too easily broke through the defense against Perth, but opted for a confrontation against Sinclair. The Englishman justified his decision by finishing well from an acute angle.
What belief remained Saints had evaporated when Brown got a clearance and an arrow over Zander Clark for his first goal in two years.
St Johnstone tried to react and goalkeeper Scott Bain had to throw himself to his right to postpone Chris Kane's training.
Sinclair 's hat – trick was his second hat trick of the season after another in Aberdeen in December.
In the main draw, the Celtic were in the lead and after the break, they countered by Jonny Hayes, representing the injured Emilio Izaguirre, who was fired by Forrest.
Two minutes later, after Forrest's installation of Burke, Sinclair came close to finishing his treble at the last minute to ten yards to complete a complete victory.
