Celtic defender Eoghan O’Connell scored on his second appearance on loan at Walsall and has impressed fans south of the border.
The Irishman has enjoyed two wins from his opening two games with the League One side – and was also given the Man of the Match Award in today’s 3-1 win over Bristol City.

O’Connell made his debut last week in a 4-1 demolition of Sheffield United, and received glowing praise from the Saddlers faithful.
Brendan Rodgers sent the centre-back on loan to England, however his future at Paradise could be in doubt as he is out of contract in the summer.
Walsall are currently in 14th, nine points off the playoffs places in the third tier of English football with 20 games remaining in the season.
Celtic are in action again tomorrow for the first time in 2017 against Albion Rovers in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.
The game will take place at the Excelsior Stadium, with kick-off at 3pm.
