Paddy McCourt added yet another incredible solo goal to his collection with a stunning strike for Finn Harps against Sligo Rovers on Saturday.

The Celtic hero joined the League of Ireland outfit at the start of the season following stints at Brighton, Luton and Glenavon.

Despite his wonder goal Finn Harps lost 2-1 to leave then third from bottom of the table and battling against relegation.

Sligo had taken the lead before McCourt headed off on a trademark solo run in the 82nd minute to score a goal that left fans stunned- unfortunately former Rangers (IL) starlet Rhys McCabe grabbed a late winner for Sligo.

McCourt spent five seasons at Celtic and although he struggled to nail down a regular place he did score some remarkable goals and was dubbed the Derry Pele by delighted supporters.

Less than 2,000 fans were at the match on Saturday but his goal has gone viral on social media.
