WIGAN WERE CELEBRATING today, as a 4-0 win away at Blackpool saw them earn promotion back to the Championship at the first attempt.
It was a particularly special moment for Dublin-born midfielder Chris McCann, who scored the opening goal in the convincing win.
28-year-old McCann joined the club from Burnley in 2013 and despite being plagued by injuries in recent years, the former Home Farm youth has become a key player for the Latics, managing four goals in 39 appearances this season.
Meanwhile, Cork-born goalkeeper and club captain Colin Doyle completed 90 minutes for Blackpool, who look set for back-to-back relegations following today’s result.
A win for Fleetwood against Walsall on Monday would consign The Seasiders to League Two, with Neil McDonald’s side having been playing in the Premier League as recently as 2011.
