Cuellar might prove a controversial choice for some, but the former Rangers man has failed to command a first team spot at Aston Villa since moving to Ibrox. The Spaniard was a stand out in the SPL, and instrumental in Rangers charge to the UEFA Cup Final in 2008, and a bid of £5m may be enough to tempt Villa.
Despite being a former Ger, I think any complaints would soon die down as Cuellar is a fine defender. Another option could be the veteran Sol Campbell, out of contract this summer.
Campbell would undoubtedly add steel and experience to the Celtic back line.
Right back: Andy Hinkel
Hinkel proved himself last season to be a competent defender and good crosser.
The jury is still partly out on the German- he can still be caught out by pace—but for now he should fit comfortably into Mowbray’s style of play.
Left Midfield: Aiden McGeady
McGeady had his ups and downs under Strachan, and will be hoping Mowbray’s arrival will allow him to express himself more freely.
McGeady likes to cut inside, a trait frowned upon by Strachan, but likely to be encouraged under Mowbray as he looks to expand his attacking footballing philosophy with the kind of quality player not available to him at Hibs or West Brom.
Central Midfield: Scott Brown
Brown didn’t have an altogether successful first season, partly down to a family tragedy, but he fully deserved his Player of the Year award last term.
A battling, marauding box to box midfielder, Brown will welcome the arrival of Mowbray, the man who gave him his big chance at Hibs.
Central Midfield: James McCarthy (Hamilton, £3m)
McCarthy is the up and coming talent of the Scottish game, and the young Irishman is a self confessed fan of the club.
