Hartson defends Strachan

Celtic striker John Hartson today jumped to the defence of Gordon Strachan by insisting the under-fire manager will “get it right” and ride the “ridiculous” wave of criticism.

Strachan has endured a poor start to his reign at Parkhead – losing heavily in Europe and drawing with Motherwell at the weekend – but Hartson is convinced the players will pull together to support their manager.
