Celtic defender Mark Wilson has told manager Gordon Strachan he much prefers to play on the right side of The Bhoys defence than the left.

The 24-year-old has been deployed at left-back this term with mixed results, but with Andreas Hinkel currently on the sidelines he is back to his favoured right-sided position.

Wilson is happy with his form at the moment, having helped Celtic secure a 4-0 win over Hamilton, and hopes he can now get a consistent run of games under Strachan.

"I don't mind playing left-back but I have been playing at right-back for a few games now and I much prefer staying on the right, which I did against Accies," said Wilson.

Stay in the team

"I'm happy with the way it worked out and hopefully I can stay in the team.

"Andreas Hinkel is injured but I know there is going to come a time when he will get fit again and fighting for the right-back place.

"There will be times when I will have to sit out again but I am enjoying myself at the moment."
