Mikey Johnston last night continued to show his worth with a stunning goal for West Brom.
The Republic of Ireland winger has scored two goals in five games for the Championship side since joining on loan from Celtic.
The 24-year-old made the decision to leave Parkhead on a temporary basis as he looked for more regular game time elsewhere.
The Baggies stepped up to take him off Celtic's hands, and he's not looked back since his deadline day switch.

He scored on his first start against Cardiff City last week, with ex-team-mate David Turnbull in their ranks.
Now, he's added another special strike to his collection as West Brom romped to a 3-0 win at Plymouth last night.
Johnston received the ball wide on the left. As he matched up the full-back, he darted inside as he made his way to the box before managing to cut in again.Ā
He unleashed a beautiful effort on his right into the far top corner, which left another former Hoops team-mate, Conor Hazard, no chance of saving.
West Brom sit fifth in the Championship, comfortably inside the promotion play-off spots.
Meanwhile,Ā John Hartson has branded Celtic defender Alexandro Bernabei a 'disgrace'Ā after his failure to stop David Watson scoring for Kilmarnock in the recent 1-1 draw at Parkhead.
The dropped points led to Rangers going top of the Scottish Premiership after their victory over St Johnstone.

Bernabei was brought on as a substitute for Greg Taylor with 30 minutes left against Derek McInnes' men and was unable to stop Watson from netting a stoppage-time equaliser.
"Bernabei is a disgrace, he doesn't even challenge Watson for the goal," HartsonĀ toldĀ GO Radio.
"If you're a left-back in that position, last minute, you are giving everything to stop a goal. That could cost Celtic the title! It doesn't mean enough, it's got to matter more.
