Celtic Career Review

Signed at Christmas in the tumultuous 1996-1997 season, David Hannah was the former youth team starlet of Tannadice who had fallen foul of infamous chairman Jim McLean and ostracised from the side.

Hannah had the misfortune to arrive just as Tommy Burns' era as manager was beginning to show the first signs of cracking under the pressure of trying to prevent a record-equalling ninth championship by Rangers.

Midfield was particularly understaffed, with club captain and talisman Paul McStay sidelined by the ankle injuries that would curtail his season, and ultimately his career while the nightmare run of injuries that would inflict Phil O'Donnell's Parkhead career was already begining to bite. Hannah was signed as a fall back after attempts to prise the veteran Andy Townsend away from Aston Villa were rebuffed, and in truth Hannah's signing underwhelmed the Celtic support.

A peripheral figure as Celtic wilted that season, Hannah looked to have made the unfamiliar position of right back his own under Burns' successor Wim Jansen, as the Dutchman distrusted the defensive qualities of Jackie McNamara, starting the season on the right of the back four. Hannah again drifted out of contention as Jansen's preferred back four of Mahe, Rieper, Stubbs and Boyd took shape and was eventually sold back to United.

Renowned for some woeful finishing attempts, David Hannah's solitary competitive first team goal for Celtic came via a generous deflection versus Welsh minnows Inter Cable-Tel in the 1997 UEFA Cup tie.
