A midfield partnership of Brown and McCarthy would be exciting and dynamic, and get the fans off their seats.
Right midfield: Shaun Maloney
If reports are true, though, Celtic have tabled a £2m two year deal for the little Japanese genius, Shunsuke Nakamura, to stay. I’m hoping he accepts—his skill, vision, passing, movement and killer free kicks will be sorely missed.
The chances are, however, that he will move on to Spain. Nakamura stated it was his desire to one day play in Spain when he signed for Celtic, and with Espanyol having tabled an offer, this looks increasingly likely.
That being the case, it’s time for Shaun Maloney to step up and show why Celtic bought him back from Aston Villa.
Maloney and McGeady interchanging on the wings could fit Mowbray’s footballing philosophy to a tee, and like Nakamura, Maloney can be a menace from free kicks.
Striker: Scott McDonald
You can level any criticism you like at Celtics other two mis-firing strikers, Samaras and Vennegoor of Hesselink, but not one of those would apply to McDonald.
Hard working, industrious, and scorer of over 50 goals since his arrival from Motherwell, McDonald will surely be one of the first names on the team sheet under Mowbray.
Striker: Steven Fletcher (Hibernian, £3m)
Celtic failed in their bid to get Fletcher in January, but the youngster is a protégé of Tony Mowbray in his time at Hibs, and you wouldn’t bet against the new manager making him a top priority.
Fletcher and McDonald would make a dangerous striking partnership.
