On This Day, we wish Happy Birthday to former Celtic defender Charlie Mulgrew, who turns 35 today. The veteran defender spent six years at Celtic, making 207 appearances and scoring 28 goals. He now plies his trade with Premiership side Dundee United.

Mulgrew is fondly remembered for his time at the club – playing left back, left wing, centre back and central midfield. He was a regular lieutenant under Neil Lennon during his first spell but the arrival of Brendan Rodgers resulted in the end of his time at Celtic.
Mulgrew was Lennon’s first signing in 2010 and played a variety of positions in his time at Celtic, including left wing in a win at Ibrox in 2011. Mulgrew was an excellent bit of business for Celtic, signing on a pre-contract from Aberdeen. The player was composed and robust, progressing into an accomplished central defender.
Mulgrew won five league titles and two Scottish Cups as well as winning the Player of the Year accolades in 2012 for a stunning season, in which he deputised as a central defender.
Many happy returns, Charlie.
Would still do a job for us on the left side of CB imho
