Two Irish players made their debuts in the Championship last night and one scored

Meanwhile, Derby moved up to fourth in the Championship despite their winless run continuing.

JOE MASON AND Aiden McGeady both made their debuts for Wolves and Sheffield Wednesday respectively in the Championship last night.

Mason took just three minutes to score, slotting home the rebound after Bjorn Sigurdarson’s initial shot was saved

Dublin-born full-back Matt Doherty also featured, as Wolves drew 2-2 with Neil Lennon’s Bolton.

Meanwhile, McGeady had little time to make an impact as an 87th minute substitute, as Sheffield Wednesday drew 1-1 with fellow promotion contenders Burnley.

In addition, Keiren Westwood and Stephen Ward both played the full 90 minutes for the Owls and the Clarets respectively.

Richard Keogh, Cyrus Christie and Jeff Hendrick all started, as Derby drew 0-0 with Preston, for whom Greg Cunningham and Alan Browne were involved.

Derby moved fourth as a result, despite their winless run now extending to six matches.

Finally, Daryl Murphy and Stephen Quinn started for Ipswich and Reading respectively, as the former beat the latter 2-1. Paul McShane and Kevin Foley were unused subs for their respective teams.
