Mark Fotheringham and the Celtic 'pressure' lesson he hopes will help fulfil Huddersfield Premier League dream

Mark Fotheringham says that dealing with the demands of being a Celtic player will help him in trying to clinch Huddersfield Town's return to English Premier League territory.

He only made a handful of senior appearances for the Premiership champions before leaving in 2003 following a four-year stint as a youngster, but the 38-year-old has forged himself an excellent coaching career after an eye-opening Freiburg loan. It started at German side Karlsruher SC and after a player-assistant role at current Lowland League club Cowdenbeath, he's coached at FC Ingolstadt and Bundesliga club Hertha Berlin, now appointed head coach at Huddersfield.

They were in the top tier of English football only a few seasons ago but find themselves 23rd in the Championship after 10 games. It's Fotheringham's ambition to get them back to where they once were and lessons learned in his early days at Celtic will help him in that quest.
