Scott Sinclair says Pittodrie match will not give any clues ahead of Scottish Cup final
Celtic winger Scott Sinclair does not believe Friday's meeting with Aberdeen will have a major bearing on the William Hill Scottish Cup final.
Last updated 9th May 2017
The top two teams in the Ladbrokes Premiership meet for the fifth time this season 15 days before their Hampden encounter.
Celtic have won all four matches so far but with the league won and Aberdeen having all but wrapped up second place short of a freak run of results, there is a lot less riding on the Pittodrie match.
Sinclair said: "The league is a completely different game to a cup game.
"When you are in a cup game, it's everything, you both have to go for it and nobody is going to sit back - and it will probably be end to end.
"But in the league it can be a much different game. I wouldn't look too much into Friday night.
"We have just got to take it step by step and make sure we get a result on Friday, and just keep building from there."
Celtic still have the motivation of maintaining their unbeaten domestic record and continuing their momentum as they close in on the treble.
"Obviously that would be a fantastic season if we do that but up until now we have taken every game as it comes and hopefully we just keep on doing that with the winning mentality and our character and we stay calm and go into every game like it's our last," Sinclair said.
"That's what we have done up until now and we go on Friday night to Aberdeen and we do exactly the same."
