Niall McGinn has departed Dundee to join Northern Irish side Glentoran.

The 35-year-old, who played for Celtic between 2008 and 2011, has signed for the club in his homeland as the move was confirmed on social media.

After moving to Aberdeen in 2012, McGinn remained at Pittodrie for five years before signing for South Korean side Gwanju FC.

However, it did not work out for the Northern Irishman in Asia as he returned to the Dons soon after, where he stayed until moving to Dundee just under a year ago.

Meanwhile, Stevenage hero Dean Campbell hailed their stunning 2-1 FA Cup win at Aston Villa as the best moment of his career.

The substitute turned the game after coming on just after the hour as the League Two side scored twice late on to dump Villa out.

Campbell, who is on loan from Aberdeen, started the comeback when he robbed Leander Dendoncker and was brought down by the midfielder in the box with five minutes left.

Dendoncker was sent off and Jamie Reid levelled from the spot, with Campbell firing in a dramatic winner two minutes later.

“The best part about it is my mum and dad came down from Scotland and my girlfriend is here so for them to experience that moment with me, it’s a really good feeling,” the 21-year-old told the Comet after earning a fourth round trip to Stoke.

“I’m buzzing with that. It’s an incredible moment and obviously the best I’ve had in my career so far.

“The celebrations were amazing, what a group we have. The gaffer has managed to put together a group of really top guys and the feeling was shared at the end.

“Everyone earned that, everyone deserved the win and I’m just proud of everyone.

“I heard in the back of my ear the gaffer (Steve Evans) screaming at me to go and get the corner.

“When I looked up I saw I had a lot of space and it was just about focusing on getting a good connection on it and if it goes in, it goes in. I’ve struck it really well and I’m buzzing that it has gone in.
