he 24-year-old had been deployed at left-back earlier in the season with mixed success as Strachan tinkered with his back-four options. The former Dundee United player was reinstated at right-back but may have been switched again for the visit of the Lanarkshire side when regular left-back Lee Naylor was injured in training 24 hours earlier.
However, Strachan opted to replace Naylor with midfielder Barry Robson, a somewhat surprising move that proved successful as the Hoops romped to a 4-0 win, which got them back on track after their Champions League defeat at Villarreal last Tuesday.
Shunsuke Nakamura, Georgios Samaras, Scott McDonald and Aiden McGeady all scored in a comfortable afternoon that also saw Hoops keeper Artur Boruc save a penalty from James McArthur.
And Wilson was glad to watch the action unfold from his preferred position.
He said: "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.
"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."
Wilson praised Robson for his adaptability and he believes Strachan now has another option available to him.
"Barry did well," the former Scotland Under-21 defender added. "I think he played a few games there for Dundee United but it is unfamiliar territory for him.
"He won a lot of balls in the air and obviously his delivery with his left foot is quality.
"So that was a plus and it's good for the manager."
While domestic football takes a break for the forthcoming international fixtures, Wilson can afford to look forward to the Hoops' next Champions League clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford, despite breaking his foot at the same venue when the two sides met in the competition two seasons ago.
"It was great the last time until I got injured," the former Dundee United player said.
"But I still enjoyed the game. It was a special night.
"There were a lot of Celtic fans there, which made for a great atmosphere.
"We scored two goals and put them under a bit of pressure, which was great, so if we can do that again, it will be fantastic."
Accies manager Billy Reid spent Saturday night reflecting on a "going over" from Celtic.
After also conceding four goals against Falkirk the week previously, Reid knows his side have to improve on their defensive frailties by the time they welcome St Mirren in their next fixture.
"We will have to stop the flood of goals for a week on Saturday," the Accies boss said.
"We have a home game and we will look to get something from it."
