Sinclair snatches late win on Celtic debut

Scott Sinclair came off the bench to score the winner on his Celtic debut as the Scottish champions recorded a 2-1 win at Hearts.

The winger's signing from Aston Villa was only confirmed earlier on Sunday, but his late strike proved decisive after James Forrest and Jamie Walker had exchanged first-half goals at Tynecastle.

Griffiths made ground down the left and the onrushing Sinclair raced in to get on the end of his team-mate's delivery and net the winner from six yards.
