Hoops boss Marti Cifuentes insisted Jimmy Dunne deserved his moment of glory after the defender's sensational stoppage-time volley into the top corner from 25 yards secured victory against their fellow strugglers.
The unlikely hero, usually a centre-back, lost his place in the team after some shaky performances and has more recently been deployed at right-back.
And Cifuentes deSTA MA JIM DU a clared: "He deserves everything. I'm very happy for him. He's a quality, quality human being.
"He will enjoy this moment, but when things weren't going his way and there were games he was not starting he was always first in training, supporting his team-mates and happy when the team won.
