# Celtic: Trevor Sinclair wanted Parkhead move

**Former West Ham star Trevor Sinclair has told Jim White live on [talkSPORT](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1460971737265414146) that he would have ‘loved’ to join Celtic during his playing career.**

### The Lowdown: Sinclair’s final years…

The versatile winger made close to [200](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/trevor-sinclair/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/3253) appearances for the Hammers, while also making significant [contributions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/trevor-sinclair/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/3253) for Queens Park Rangers and Manchester City.

The former England international spent his final season as a player with Cardiff City in [2007/08](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/trevor-sinclair/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/3253), helping the Bluebirds reach the [FA Cup final](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fa-cup/startseite/pokalwettbewerb/FAC/saison_id/2007).

However, it seems as if his last year as a player could have been with Celtic, with Sinclair opening up to White on [talkSPORT](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1460971737265414146) on Wednesday.

### The Latest: Sinclair’s comments

Sinclair was wearing a Celtic shirt on [talkSPORT](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1460971737265414146), revealing it was one he kept after a pre-season game against the Hoops with West Ham.

He admitted that he will be wearing it for the Glasgow Derby against Rangers in January, comments that left White stunned: ‘[Celtic fans, there he is](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1460971737265414146),’ the presenter joked.

Sinclair then went on to add that a ‘little regret’ of his playing career was not being able to turn out for Celtic, as his father was from Glasgow and a massive Hoops fan.

He believes if social media was available back then, he could have informed the Bhoys over his wishes to make the move to Scotland.

### The Verdict: What could have been…

Celtic enjoyed a successful 2007/08 campaign under Gordon Strachan, winning the Scottish Premiership and reaching the last 16 of the Champions League.

However, the majority of Strachan’s [wingers](https://www.transfermarkt.com/celtic-fc/kader/verein/371/saison_id/2007) at the time were fairly young, so Sinclair could have been a shrewd addition who may have helped a young Aiden McGeady during his early years.

Sinclair would’ve been 34 years of age at the time in 2007 and he only contributed to [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/trevor-sinclair/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/3253) goals in [25](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/trevor-sinclair/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/3253) games with Cardiff, so perhaps it wasn’t the end of the world that a move north failed to materialise, but his experience and quality may well have elevated the Hoops that bit further in their European campaign.
