Mjallby wants winners at Celtic

06 July 2010 18:01
Celtic are looking for "experienced winners" to bring trophy success back to Parkhead, assistant manager Johan Mjallby has revealed. Former Middlesbrough midfielder George Boateng, 34, this week joined the club on trial following his release by Hull as Neil Lennon looks to add to his first two signings as Celtic manager. Lennon, who last week brought in South Korea international full-back Cha Du-Ri and Charlie Mulgrew from Aberdeen, has also spoken to former England defender Sol Campbell and Hull midfielder Jimmy Bullard over possible moves. Lennon and Mjallby led Celtic to eight consecutive Clydesdale Bank Premier League victories after taking over in March, but the club still finished six points behind Rangers and ended the season without a trophy. "It's important to have experience in the side," Mjallby said. "We like winners at this club. Sol Campbell, he has had a great career. George Boateng has done very well, he has been down in England playing for a few clubs there and played very well. "It's always nice to get a couple of experienced winners in, guys who are very strong in their minds and know what they want on the pitch. That's what we are looking for. Even Jose Mourinho is probably looking for players in every department and so are we."
