Cha issues Wilson warning

Cha Du-Ri has told Mark Wilson he faces a fight for the right-back role at Celtic now that he is fully fit and ready for action. The South Korean suffered an ankle injury in his first training session upon his return from the Asian Cup but, following weeks of rehabilitation and building his fitness, he is ready to battle for his place in the team. He returned to action in last weekend's friendly against Athletic Bilbao and is determined to force his way back into manager Neil Lennon's plans for the title-run in. However, Cha is well aware of just how tough a task he could face, having watched Wilson make the most of his absence. "I must fight for my place in the team and I will do just that," he said. "Mark has played very well while I was away in the Asian Cup and when I was out injured. "He's scored important goals and been a great player for us so I have to show the manager that I'm fit and able to play again before I get back into the team. He will then make a decision about who is better for the team. I will fight hard in training and then we will see what happens."
