Former Celtic midfielder Mark Fotheringham has appointed Kenny Miller onto his staff at Huddersfield as Assistant Coach. The Celtic youth product was appointed as The Terriers manager in late September but is using the time afforded by the World Cup to make some additions to his back room.

As confirmed by Huddersfield, Miller arrives as the Assistant Coach.

The 39-year-old is highly rated in the game for his work as a No.2 at various club but there has often been chatter that he would be keen to make a managerial berth his own. Now, as he looks to guide Huddersfield up the table as they bid to escape relegation.

Fotheringham made his debut in Celtic’s 0-0 draw with St Johnstone at the end of the 1999-2000 season. However, the arrival of Martin O’Neill limited his outings thereafter to just two first-team appearances. In what was a fairly well-travelled career, Fotheringham will be keen to make Yorkshire his home and to propel them into the top flight.

Meanwhile, Miller played 46 times for Celtic across a 15 month spell before leaving for Derby County. His time at the club is not fondly remembered owing to the fact he then signed for Rangers and wildly made his feelings towards the club known when he scored for them at Celtic Park. However, his first Celtic goal came against Rangers and he then celebrated with gusto. Miller was a model pro and whilst coaching hasn’t gone his way, he will be keen to make a mark for himself in the coaching sphere.
