CHARLIE MULGREW IS NEW KELTY HEARTS MANAGER

Kelty Hearts have announced Charlie Mulgrew as their new manager.

The 38 year old has achieved his UEFA A Licence coaching badge and has been manager of Hamilton Academical’s Under 18 side.

Mulgrew had a prestigious playing career as a centre-back, winning 44 caps for Scotland.

A Celtic academy graduate, Mulgrew made 134 appearances for the club winning five league titles and two Scottish Cups.

After his second spell at Celtic, Mulgrew moved to English side Blackburn Rovers where he spent five years.

He was part of the side which won promotion back to the second tier of English football and had loan spells at Wigan Athletic and Fleetwood Town before moving back to Scotland with Dundee United. He also played for Aberdeen.

Mulgrew, whose assistant will be former Falkirk and Dundee United midfielder Mark Kerr, replaces Michael Tidser who has taken over as manager at Dunfermline.
