Celtic have extended the contract of former Manchester City and Swansea winger Scott Sinclair.

It was a simple matter, as the Hoops had an agreement to add 12 months to his deal at any time.

The 30-year-old was wanted by teams in the Premier League and Championship, but he will be sticking around in Scotland for at least another year.

Manager Neil Lennon said of Sinclair at a pre-match press conference: "Scott will be here for another year. He's a very good player and he's been a good player since he walked in the door.

"He's made a big contribution in the goals column and that experience and football intelligence is always important to have around.

"There's a familiarity with Scott. Going into the Champions League qualifiers next season, he'll be one we don't have to go and replace.

"He's played a lot of games this season so I wouldn't say he's struggled for time on the pitch. Under me, he's played maybe played 75 to 80 percent of the games.

"He maybe hasn't hit the heights of his first season but that was a stellar season and it's very difficult to replicate that year on year.

"We know what we've got with Scott - he's an excellent player and always a threat."
