Mulgrew is taking a first step towards his management dream at Accies and says Hoops hero has had lasting impact after youth days at Celtic Park
Former Celtic star Charlie Mulgrew has taken his first steps into coaching at Hamilton Accies and says ‘ahead of his time’ Hoops legend Tommy Burns has been a big influence on his management dream.
Mulgrew eventually launched his senior career away from Parkhead and then returned to the club as Neil Lennon’s first signing as boss in 2010, just a few years after Burns tragically passed away. “I remember when Martin O’Neill was manager at Celtic , Tommy was head of youth and he taught us a lot about the game and he was all about total football when it wasn’t really fashionable, so he really was ahead of his time when you look at the game now.
“You might have your own ideas on how you see the game but you can always tweak that and learn from different minds, and how they see it. He has also played under some experienced campaigners in the dugout from Gordon Strachan, during his Scotland days, to Tony Mowbray at Celtic and Blackburn, as well as Owen Coyle at Blackburn.
Mulgrew has loved it at Accies over the past week and is delighted to be on board. He said: “That’s a few days I have had in now and it’s been brilliant. I couldn’t wait to get started. The full 18s aren’t back until July 1 so it’s been 16s so far.
