Celtic Career Review
Signed by Lou Macari, Carl Muggleton made his Celtic debut in 1993. In total, he made 13 appearances for the club.

Muggleton played 13 times for Celtic, 12 league games and one Scottish Cup game. Notably, he had 6 shut outs in his first six consecutive league games, which was a record of some sorts at that point. Overall conceded just 9 goals. Not too bad a record overall.

So why is he lampooned by sections of our support? Firstly he had a bit of a funny name. Whatever, but the main reason is that he was bought by Lou Macari at the tail end of the old Biscuit Tin days alongside Wayne Biggins (who was a failure of a signing), so is sadly bracketed in with others with whom he really doesn't deserve to be with. The truth is that he is lampooned chiefly by fans who more than likely never actually saw him play. From his short record, you can't have asked for more and in many ways was a stellar patch of personal performances in what was a dire time for the club.

He departed after his few games where those in the know believed that possibly he could have stayed with us for longer and proved that he was better than the wags were making out. He left to join Stoke in the summer of 1994, an ignomonious exit after his efforts.

All the best to the guy, and remarkably he was still playing in competitive football as late as season 2007-08 for Mansfield Town. Some guy! Shows some great spirit to still be playing for so long, and worthy of respect. Always welcome back to Parkhead anytime.
