Former Celtic midfielder Liam Shaw suffered a nightmare moment Northampton as he blasted the ball into the top corner of his own goal.
The 23-year-old fell to the ground after hammering the ball into his own net when attempting to clear the ball against Bolton Wanderers.
Shaw - who played for Celtic between 2021 and 2024 - looked to send the ball past the post and out for a corner but inadvertently found the top corner.

Sky Sports presenter Kyle Walker was left dumbfounded by the own goal shocker as he attempted to describe the finish branded 'goal of the season' by users on social media.
"Watch this for yourselves. What a finish it is. It's Liam Shaw the Northampton Town player who has put it into his own net.
"The ball is put across the six-yard box, the passage of terror right there and it's connected beautifully by number 29 Liam Shaw but into the back of his own net.
"I couldn't quite believe what was happening right in front of the Northampton Town fans as well.
"The cameras just cut to Kevin Nolan, he's stood in the technical area not knowing what to do. A bit of a freak goal.

"All of the team have surrounded Liam Shaw and picked him up."
Shaw was supported by his team-mates after the error which put Bolton 2-1 up before the break.
Bizarrely, Shaw's own goal came after he netted his first goal for Northampton to equalise with eight minutes on the clock.
Shaw left Celtic to join Fleetwood Town in October before moving to Northampton after his release clause was triggered by the League One side.
