    My mind drifted to this the other day. I don't want a comprehensive list, but I was curious to know which players stick out for people.

    The most prominent one for me is probably Barry Robson scoring with his first touch of the ball - a free kick against Aberdeen.

    I also remember Callum McGregor scored on his debut when we played Reykjavik. McGeady also scored on his debut against Hearts when he was 17/18 under Martin O'Neill.

    Did Ian Wright not ? I think a big thing was made of it before the game because he pretty much did everywhere he went if not literally everywhere he went. Was against Killie and I think he had one ruled out before he scored.

    Did Ramon Vega not score 2? Seems to ring a bell.

    @StPauli1916 - You're right, Ian Wright scored in a 5-1 win against Kilmarnock.

    @H4nny14 - Yup, Vega scored 2 in a 6-0 win over Aberdeen.

    @AJ Styles - Good shout, Commons scored on pretty much every possible debut he had that season.

    @Mcguire1 - He did, Cadete scored when he eventually got his Celtic debut. A 5-0 win over Aberdeen. Right about Blinker, too

    @WolfOfParkhead - Aye, something of a false dawn, but did score in a 3-1 win over Hearts

    @James - Another good shout. Both given their debuts by Lennon, both scored in wins over Motherwell after coming off the bench.

    @HailHoopy - Armstrong and Mackay-Steven both scored on their debut - the same game at Partick Thistle.

    @trackebhoy - Yep, Big Jan scored against Hibs. After McGeady hit the post, if I remember rightly.

    @BR * Army - Yes! This season, how could I forget?

    Aitchison?

    Did Burchill not score against the huns on debut, coming on as a sub?

    Another recent one was young Jack Atchison at the end of last season, a 7-0 win over Motherwell.
