Celtic star came close to hat-trick.
Celtic star Scott Sinclair has lamented how he was denied a hat-trick in the win over Airdrieonians.
Sinclair scored twice in the 3-0 win and believes he should have had a third, the Daily Record reported.
Sinclair was called offside when clear through on goal, and was prevented from netting for his hat-trick.
He explained his frustration with the officiating of the Scottish Cup win.
Sinclair said: “I’ve seen it back and I was miles onside. I was unlucky but there’s nothing I can do about it now.
“It was as clear as day to me. I couldn’t believe it because it seemed to me at the time I was at least a couple of yards onside. So it’s a bit disappointing.”
Debutant Timothy Weah went on to score Celtic’s third goal.
As a club, Celtic publicly expressed their concerns over officiating after the Old Firm game against Rangers, by releasing a statement.
This wrong offside call ultimately did not change the game, but if it had, it would be getting a lot more attention.
Celtic have been drawn at home to St Johnstone in the fifth round of the cup.
