Kris Boyd claims Scott Sinclair’s winner against Aberdeen was the turning point in Celtic’s season

Celtic play Aberdeen in the Scottish League Cup final on Sunday as they look to successfully defend one-third of their double domestic treble.

The Hoops remain top of the Scottish Premiership table, can qualify for the Europa League last-32 and will fancy their chances of retaining the Scottish Cup.

However, a stuttering start to 2018-19, which saw Celtic win just six of their opening 12 games across all competitions had seen many predicting that they wouldn’t have an easy ride domestically this term.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have since managed to turn their fortunes around, winning 11 of their last 15 games, and Kilmarnock striker Kris Boyd believes Scott Sinclair’s goal in the 1-0 win over Aberdeen was a major turning point for them.
