The former Republic of Ireland under-21 international spent the second half of last season at the Spiders under previous manager Ray McKinnon.

After 11 games, helping the club to the League Two title, he returned to Celtic in the summer but has been unable to feature in Ange Postecoglou’s first-team squad and after only one appearance for the Celtic B team, has been permitted to join the League One leaders for the remainder of the campaign.
