Scott Sinclair credits Brendan Rodgers as big reason for picking Celtic

Scott Sinclair says that Brendan Rodgers was one of the main reasons why he swapped Aston Villa for Celtic.

New Celtic signing Scott Sinclair has claimed that Brendan Rodgers was one of the main reasons why he swapped Aston Villa for the Scottish champions.

The 27-year-old winger worked with Rodgers when the two were at Chelsea in 2005, and were reunited five years later when Rodgers was manager of Swansea City, signing Sinclair for £500,000.

"[Rodgers] has had a massive influence on my career when I was at Swansea and previously at Chelsea when I was a youngster," Sinclair told Sky Sports News.

"For me to work under a manager who knows me, and obviously I know how he works, it's been great for me to be under a manager like that."

Sinclair was confirmed as a Celtic player on Friday night and, less than 24 hours later, scored the winner against Hearts in the opening game of the league season.
