Hartson backs Mowbray for Celtic job

Sat 06 Jun, 08:28 PM


John Hartson has hailed Tony Mowbray as the perfect choice for the Celtic job.

Reports suggest the West Brom boss is set to be unveiled as Celtic's new manager within the next 48 hours, despite the Baggies insisting they have yet to receive an approach from the Glasgow giants.

"I think they've made the absolute perfect appointment in my opinion," said the former Celtic striker.

"When I was asked last week, I said that Tony Mowbray was your man.

"He's a fantastic guy, great temperament, fantastic coach and can deal with players.

"For me, he is definitely the right man for the job. I'm delighted for Tony and I'm delighted for the Celtic faithful."

Mowbray took Hartson to The Hawthorns when he left Celtic in 2006 and he insists his old gaffer has all the qualities to succeed in the east end of Glasgow.

He added: "He basically lets you go and express yourself, he loves footballers to go and enjoy the game and do the right thing on the pitch in terms of what they're good at.

"He gives you lots and lots of confidence. Apart from that, he's just a really nice guy as well. He's a man's man, he tells you how it is.

"He's from Middlesbrough, he's a working-class guy from a working-class background and I got on extremely well with him. It's great news for the Celtic fans all around the world."

  20. #28& 38 Aint always been a scot,or in your case­ oirish ownership at septic fc,Fungus Magoo being a­ prime example,does it really matter who owns a club,as ­ long as the club gets out of debt,yes the bears are in­ debt,mainly due to having to play to reduced crowds­ when our stadium was being upgraded,unlike septic we­ werent allowed to play our home games at hampden(unlike­ cfc) and due to the madness of the Souness era.If the­ Pope himself wanted to invest in Ibrox I for 1 would­ willing take his money
