Mowbray Strikes Moscow Blow.
Celtic manager Tony Mowbray’s decision to field a second string 11 against Spurs on Sunday had obvious benefits; with such a crucial Champions league encounter lying in wait, Mowbray’s preferred 11 had an intensive training session to look forward to, which would not have been favourable a mere day after facing EPL opposition. Additionally, the worst-case scenario of injury to any of his lynchpins was swiftly eradicated.
However, reports today also suggest that Mowbray’s decision could prove to be a tactical masterstroke, with Dynamo Moscow coach Alexsandr Smirnov openly admitting his weekend venture to Wembley – in effect a reconnaissance mission – proved virtually fruitless.

Mowbray Spurred on ahead of Dynamo Clash.
A comprehensive 2-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur yesterday saw Celtic lift the Wembley Cup, in front of a sizeable legion of faithful fans who made the trip down South.
Darren O’Dea – captain for the day – put in a Man of the Match performance at the back, with an excellent defensive display. However, it was the performance of the team as a whole, a team comprised of mostly reserve performers, which pleased manager Tony Mowbray the most.

Celtic’s Fox Hunt Completed!
Rumours are circulating that Celtic have this afternoon officially signed defender Daniel Fox from Coventry. The 23 year old left back underwent a medical last night, and it had been hoped that all the paperwork could be completed before the 11 o’clock Champions League deadline.
However, a loophole in UEFA rules and regulations ensures that English Under-21 International Fox will be eligible to play against Russian outfit Dynamo Moscow, with one player allowed to be registered up to 24 hours before a qualifying round fixture.

Classy N’Guemo Impresses, as Mowbray Targets More New Faces
As the dust settles on Celtic’s friendly encounter against an impressive Cardiff outfit, many positives can be taken from the encounter; chances created (although not converted), a clean sheet attained, and – significantly – no injuries suffered.
Today’s headlines, however, rightly concentrate on the imperious display from new Bhoy Landry N’Guemo, who played his first full match for the Hoops.
N'Guemo - a...
