The pair, playing in different countries, inspired late comebacks over the weekend.

Johnny Kenny joined Bolton in January, and is settling into life nicely at the club.

Rotherham were 2-0 up at half time on Saturday and Steven Schumacher looked to his bench, looking for a spark. On came Johnny Kenny, who set up both goals as Bolton escaped with a point.

Former Dundee United star Sam Dalby grabbed the equaliser in the 83rd minute, but the side were unable to find a winner.

Maik Nawrocki got a man-of-the-match award for the Bundesliga II side Hannover.

2-0 down in the first 38 minutes, their promotion push looked like it was taking a hit.

Then, in the 82nd minute, after Hannover missed a penalty in the 81st, Maik Nawrocki pulled one back. A corner was whipped in, and after the initial effort rebounded off the bar, the Polish defender was there to hit it in.

He ran back to the centre circle with the ball in his arm. Hannover then grabbed an equaliser in the 97th minute.

A great week for the two loanees.
