I told him that I had a vision of him scoring a hat trick. As I was driving to the game with the coaching staff, I told them that we were going to need a big game out of Sean.

It doesn't get much better then scoring a hat-trick in the semi-final at Hampden Park. I'm delighted we're in the final and we've still got a lot to play for this season. To play the way we did today was exceptional and I'm really pleased for the fans who have backed us in great numbers this season.

They got me on that one. I told them the only way they can get me is to trick me.

Then he went out and scored a hat trick and backed it up,

Getting a hat trick is great, but it's a lot more important to me that we won. Our team is playing really good right now and we just have to keep that up. We sent some nice balls through and we just happened to come out on top and I am proud of everyone on this team.

It's more than six years since my last hat-trick so it was sweet to get another one. I'm getting back to my best now and I'm scoring goals. I scored three against Boston and I could have had more. I'm just pleased that I'm getting the chance to play regular football again - the manager told me that is why he wanted me and I'm paying him back with the goals.
