Paul Byrne was signed by Liam Brady in the Summer on 1993, ironically, he only broke into the first team just as Brady was on the verge of resignation after a defeat in McDairmid Park in October 1993. Frank Connor was put in charge of the team and duly gave Byrne his place.

Byrne's finest moments in a Celtic shirt came against Rangers. In October 1994 he brought Tommy Burns team level with Rangers with a cool left foot finish from a low Tom Boyd cross at Hampden, in a match that Celtic went on to lose 3-1. He also scored a screaming equaliser in the 1-1 draw in the New Year's derby game at Ibrox, taking a John Collins switch of play on the volley, with the outside of his boot, leaving Goram with no chance in the Rangers goal.

He was to fade out of the first team picture soon after due to loss of form,questionable fitness, and a better calibre of player arriving at the club. His last start was against Hearts in the 1-1 draw at Hampden in February 1995, a match which also saw the debut of Pierre van Hooijdonk.
