Robbo keen on a switch to Hoops

Albion defender Paul Robinson has issued a 'come and get me plea' to Tony Mowbray – and claimed other players are unhappy with the manager's likely departure.

Robinson says he would love to follow Mowbray to Celtic a year after a proposed move to Parkhead broke down.

And the 30-year-old says he is not the only player who is upset by the prospect of Mowbray's exit.

Robinson said: "I'm desperately disappointed about the gaffer leaving. I'd heard a few whispers about it towards the end of the season and had a good idea he wouldn't be able to resist going back to Celtic.

"He will be a huge loss to West Brom but it's a massive bonus for Celtic. I know a few of the players are not happy we've lost him and I include myself in that. I'm considering my future and if the chance came to go to Celtic with the gaffer I'd be delighted to do so.

"I came close to moving to Parkhead last year but it didn't happen. Maybe it will now. I would love to move to a Premiership side but working with Tony at a huge club such as Celtic is appealing. I enjoyed the gaffer's training and the football he had us playing.

"Yes, we didn't stay in the Premiership but we took a lot of satisfaction from the way we played against some top teams.

"And nobody can argue with the success the gaffer brought to West Brom during his time in charge.

"I think he will be able to marry attractive football and success at Celtic Park.

"He also has a good coaching staff in Mark Venus and Peter Grant. Credit to Celtic for getting them."
