Wrexham loanee Paul Mullin was once again in action over the weekend, taking on an old rival.
It has been a superb 24 hours for the Red Dragons, who have picked up their first win in the Championship.
After a slow but solid start, Wrexham beat Millwall 2-0 on August 30 thanks to goals from Kieffer Moore and Lewis O’Brien.
Elsewhere this weekend, several former Red Dragons players lined out for their respective clubs.
Ollie Palmer made his debut for Swindon Town after leaving Wrexham permanently on Friday.
Meanwhile, Paul Mullin was once again in action for Wigan Athletic on Saturday afternoon.

Wigan Athletic fans on Wrexham loanee Paul Mullin
Mullin played for Wigan vs Stockport County in the Carabao Cup earlier this week, helping them progress into the third round.
On Saturday, the Latics once again faced off with Stockport in a league fixture, drawing 1-1.
Mullin came on in the second half and his performance has left fans divided, with some suggesting he has to start, while others went as far as to say he isn’t good enough for League One.
One wrote: “Mullin needs [to] start he will get more goals than both Saydee and Costelloe and I’d put good money on that. Next game start him with Saydee.”
A second agreed: “When Mullin plays, he creates chances by being in the right places. Totally agree. For me, when he started the season, he looked like he was still fighting demons. Now he looks ready. Saydee and Mullin up front for me too.”
“We looked better again with a natural poacher like Mullin playing with Saydee. If fans can’t get behind that performance!???” a third stated.
A fourth tweeted: “He certainly does and he offers more to the team than Mullin, who I think is someone we’ll rarely start in games but hopefully has an impact off the bench.”
Another Wigan fan suggested: “We’re missing another striker. Don’t think Mullin, Costelloe or Asamoah cut it.”
A sixth tweeted: “Need another striker. Costelloe and Mullin are —-,” with a seventh writing: “Stop giving Francois and Asamoah minutes. Same with Mullin, can’t finish at this level.”
