Former Celtic star Jackson Irvine reacts to new nickname as incredible header stat revealed

Jackson Irvine admits he doesn't mind St Pauli fans labelling him 'Airvine' as he scored another header at the weekend.

The former Celtic star, who came back in to the limelight at the World Cup in Qatar, played alongside Scottish Premiership stars such as Hoops man Aaron Mooy and Hearts defender Kye Rowles as the Socceroos reached the knockout stages. And the 29-year-old who has been key to St Pauli's Bundesliga 2 campaign scored his sixth goal for the club.

Incredibly, the midfielder has ONLY scored from headers since his time in the region of Hamburg as they saw off the challenge of Hansa Rostock on Sunday. The last time Irvine scored with his feet was for Hibs against Motherwell in 2021 in the Scottish Cup quarter-final which the Hibees won on penalties.
