Hoops ace Scott Sinclair has posted a heartfelt message to his other half on her 27th birthday today.

The 28-year-old winger took to Instagram this afternoon to share an image of himself and Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan in a loving embrace with him planting a kiss on her cheek.

He wrote in the touching post: “Happy Birthday to my Worldy, Love You.”

Helen also shared an image of herself while out celebrating.

Looking relaxed in a white T-shirt, cropped blue skinny jeans and red loafers, she said: “It’s my birthday #27 feeling very blessed.”

Her post comes just two days after she was snapped outside Celtic Park with the couple’s two-year-old daughter Matilda for the first game of the season.

She wrote: “First game of the season today go @celticfc and daddy @scotty__sinclair.”

Saturday’s match saw Leigh Griffiths score twice as champions Celtic launched their Ladbrokes Premiership title defence with an ominous 4-1 home victory over Hearts.

The Hoops are chasing a seventh successive league triumph this season and Brendan Rodgers saw his side start strongly on the opening day.
