Jim Goodwin has defended Dundee United stopper Charlie Mulgrew over criticism from fans of the relegation-threatened Taysiders for agreeing to attend a Celtic charity function paying tribute to his ex-Hoops team-mates Scott Brown and Mikael Lustig.
Celtic announced that Mulgrew would be gong to the function - A Night With Scott Brown and Mikael Lustig - at the OVO Hyrdo in Glasgow on Thursday night. It comes less than 48 hours before Goodwin’s Tangerines kick off against Livingston in the first of three games that will determine their Scottish Premiership fate.
Dundee United are rooted to the bottom of the top flight table and have lost their last two games. That has resulted in a bit of a social media backlash against veteran stopper Mulgrew who was suspended for the defeat to Ross County last weekend following his red card against St Johnstone but is available for the trip to west Lothian.
