As the outgoing Irish star applauded the away support, Wrexham fans chanted his name to the tune of ABBA’s Voulez-Vous.
The fans had McClean punching the air to support their tone and he is clearly enjoying his time with the League Two side.
The 34-year-old recently contributed to the club’s famous co-owner Ryan Reynolds suffering a “heart attack” in a win over Sutton United.
Wrexham’s Elliot Lee scored the winning goal in the 89th minute, beating the team 2-1.
After all the drama, Reynolds shared a photo of McClean on Instagram as the winning graphic.
He wrote: “Giving out heart attacks since 1864.”
McClean replied to the star, writing: “(laughing emoji) certainly not boring.”
While McClean has signed with Wrexham on a full-year deal, he recently announced he will be retiring from international football next month.
