The spotlight may have been on other Irish strikers in the SPL this season, although it is Jon Daly who has the chance to end the campaign with a winner's medal in today's Scottish Cup final.
He may have trailed Robbie Keane and Anthony Stokes in terms of making headlines this season, but his 13 goals certainly made a big impact for Dundee United.
Along with reaching today's final against Ross County, the Terrors finished third in the SPL. So it is hardly surprising that the Dubliner is looking forward to stepping out at Hampden Park and attempting to pick up his first winner's medal, which would add some gloss to an almost perfect season.
'It is a big game. We know that it won't be easy as Ross County showed by beating Celtic that they are a team not to be underestimated, so we'll be up for it,' Daly told Sportsmail.
'This has been a great season. I got a bad injury [damaging both anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments] and wasn't expected to be back playing until April. But I recovered quite quickly and played more games than I thought I would.
'I'm pretty happy with my goals return, but as long as it meant something for the team and it did because we finished third in the league, qualified for Europe and got to the cup final.'
Daly is quick to direct praise towards interim boss Peter Houston, who he believes has helped turn what could have been a complete collapse of a season into a triumph.
'When Craig [Levein] left there was huge uncertainty around the club. Our results started to dip, some of the young lads didn't know how to deal with it and it could have ended our season,' he said.
'Everything then looked to be sewn up with Pat [Fenlon], but then Bohemians put a stop to it.
'Then we started to turn it around and Peter played a huge part in that. All of the players have a lot of respect for him and he helped to settle things.'
After starting his career with Stockport County, Daly went out on loan a few times before pitching up at Hartlepool United, where he enjoyed three productive seasons.
But a change of manager meant he had to go in search of a new club. He eventually landed at Tannadice and hasn't looked back since.
The former Cherry Orchard schoolboy admits that he feels settled in Dundee with his young family and it is that sense of security that has allowed him to play his best football.
'It is a real close-knit community up here. All of the lads get along, which helps build a good team spirit,' said the eight-times-capped Ireland Under 21 international.
'It might not seem like a big thing, but it helps when you trust the lads on your team. I think I've benefited from it and it should make a difference in the cup final.'
Perhaps Daly will make some headlines of his own if he takes a starring role in today's final and finishes his season off in style.
