McHugh’s first SPL goal is a winner
McHugh came off the bench to score the Fir Park side’s late winner in a 1-0 result against Aberdeen following a pacy breakaway after the visitors had failed to capitalise on a corner kick at the opposite end of the pitch.
The goal was even more special as McHugh had seen an extra-time effort ruled out against Hibs in the Scottish Communities League Cup, with the Easter Road side going on to beat Motherwell 7-6 on penalties to reach the quarter-finals.
“I’m delighted to get my first SPL goal,” he said.

“It was obviously disappointing scoring what I thought was a perfectly good goal in midweek which I thought should have stood, so that was a setback, but to get on and score more than makes up for it.”
