Cavan-born Cillian Sheridan joined Celtic in the summer of 2006 from Dublin side Belvedere F.C.

The young striker - who represented his county at minor level in Gaelic Football - made an instant impression with the Bhoys at both under 19 and reserve team level finding the back of the net on a regular basis. His rapid rise was capped on February 25th 2007 when he came off the bench to make his first team debut as Celtic came from behind to win a Scottish Cup tie at Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Just days later the young Irishman agreed a new three year contract with the club and in October 2008 he made his Chamipons League bow as a substitute for Scott McDonald at Manchester United. He made his first start for the Bhoys on November 5th and netted in a 4-2 win over Hibernian.

In early 2009 the Irishman went on loan to Motherwell in a bid to gain experience of regular first-team football and he produced some solid performances for the Fir Park club. In August that year, with Tony Mowbrary now installed as Parkhead boss, Sheridan went on loan again - this time to English Championship side Plymouth Argyle. When the Argyle manager was moved upstairs to the boardroom he found himself somewhat out in the cold with new manager Paul Mariner. However, in January 2010 he joined St Johnstone on a loan deal to the end of the 2009-10 season.
