Former Celtic midfielder Kerr McInroy stood out for Shelbourne last night as they beat Sligo Rovers 2-1 in the Irish top flight.
The 24-year-old came through the youth ranks at Parkhead but failed to make any senior appearances in green and white.
McInroy had loan spells away from Celtic at Dunfermline, Airdrie and Ayr United before permanently departing the club for Kilmarnock in 2022.

After half a year out of the game, he now finds himself across the Irish sea at Shelbourne, having joined the club at the beginning of the calendar year.
Working under ex-Celtic coach Damien Duff, McInroy has made eight appearances for his new team so far and, last night, netted his first goal since his move.
Indeed, the former Scotland youth international gave his side a 2-0 lead 12 minutes in against Sligo and went on to be named Player of the Match by FotMob.
“He is a classy guy on and off the pitch who plays beyond his years," Duff said of McInroy when he initially arrived at Shelbourne (rte.ie).
"He has had a top-class football education at Celtic and is a player that I was always fond of when I was there.
“He trained and played with us last week and looked like he was here years.
“The players also accepted him very quickly which is shows he is a top player."
