West Brom left back Paul Robinson has revealed that he would love to join Tony Mowbray at Celtic. Robinson is said to be gutted at Mowbray leaving The Hawthorns, and admits he will be considering his own future at the club.
The left back came close to signing for Celtic last summer, and he hopes that Mowbray will make a move to bring him north in a potential £1.5 million move. Celtic have been having constant problems at the Left Back position, with Lee Naylor out of form since his first season at the Parkhead club, and Robinson would be an ideal candidate for the problematic position.
Robbo said, “I’m desperately disappointed about the gaffer leaving. I’d heard a few whispers about it towards the end of the season and had a good idea he wouldn’t be able to resist going back to Celtic. He will be a huge loss to West Brom but it’s a massive bonus for Celtic.
"I know a few of the players are not happy we’ve lost him and I include myself in that. I’m considering my future and if the chance came to go to Celtic with the gaffer I’d be delighted to do so. I came close to moving to Parkhead last year but it didn’t happen. Maybe it will now.
“I would love to move to a Premiership side but working with Tony at a huge club such as Celtic is appealing. I enjoyed the gaffer’s training and the football he had us playing. Yes, we didn’t stay in the Premiership but we took a lot of satisfaction from the way we played against some top teams. And nobody can argue with the success the gaffer brought to West Brom during his time in charge. I think he will be able to marry attractive football and success at Celtic Park. He also has a good coaching staff in Mark Venus and Peter Grant. Credit to Celtic for getting them. They will be a hard act to follow.”
