Summary
Mark Wilson completed a boyhood dream when he moved from Dundee United to Celtic for a reported £500,000 fee on January 16th 2006.Celtic had been watching the development of the 21-year-old defender with interest for months prior to the move as the player established himself as one the brightest prospects in the SPL. The switch to the Bhoys came as no surprise and the attack-minded full-back was only too happy to join the club which he had followed all his young life.
Although right-footed Wilson was initially fielded by Gordon Strachan in the left-back berth and his early performances indicated that the player was more than capable of fulfilling his potential.
However injuries have since curtailed Wilson’s development with a broken foot and persistent knee problems meaning the player has sadly spent more time in the treatment room than on the pitch. When he has been fit enough to play Wilson has done well without ever hitting really repeating his impressive early showings.
If Wilson can stay free from injury he could – even with increased competition at the club – still be a key player and a major talent for years to come. Bhoys boss Strachan remains confident about Wilson’s future and claims that when fully fit he is among the best full backs in Britain.
