FORMER Celtic star Paddy McCourt dazzled League of Ireland crowds over the weekend by scoring a sensational solo goal for Finn Harps.

The 33-year-old, who spent five seasons at Parkhead between 2008 and 2013, moved to the Harps in February following a spell at Glenavon in Northern Ireland. 

And he displayed some incredible footwork on Saturday, picking the ball up midway into the Sligo Rovers half, dribbling past seven defenders and cooly sliding a finish into the bottom corner. 

Unfortunately for McCourt, his 82nd minute equaliser wasn't enough to secure a valuable point for his side as ex-Rangers and Dunfermline midfielder Rhys McCabe grabbed a stoppage time winner for Sligo.

As a result, Finn Harps slipped into the drop zone having taken 30 points from 28 games so far this season.
