In an award ceremony in Belfast on Monday Niall McGinn was presented his trophy from football legend Pat Jennings. This award was introduced in 2006 in memory of George Best. It is awarded to the Northern Ireland sports figure who has made the biggest advancement in their career in that year. Winning the Belfast Telegraph Sports Awards was a huge boost to 22 year old McGinn who rewarded his manager Tony Mowbray the next evening with a winning goal against Morton in the Scottish Cup. McGinn has had an incredible few years, going from Dungannon Swifts to Derry City and then on to Celtic. He’s loving life at Parkhead and despite being a transfer target from other clubs Niall has reiterated his intentions to remain at Parkhead for years to come "If there are clubs in England showing interest in me, it means I must be doing something right," the 22-year-old told the Scottish Sun. "I was at Swansea for a week before Celtic showed an interest in me. Once Celtic came in for me though, I jumped at the opportunity. "Roberto Martinez was the Swansea manager at the time and, of course, he's at Wigan now. "Swansea actually had me watched for months and showed massive interest. Maybe Martinez is still keen on me. "I grew up supporting Celtic and my priority is to get in the team as soon as possible. I see myself here for the next five or 10 years, I'm loving it so far."
