Bruce: Cash to spend
Sunderland, under new investment, narrowly escaped relegation from England's top flight last season and are looking to bolter the squad to avoid a repeat of that performance.
Celtic will be looking for a positive result ahead of a testing trop to Moscow, where they are looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit and progress to the next stage of Champions League qualifying.
Progression now seems unlikely, but far from impossible despite a disappointing home defeat on Wednesday...
Mowbray takes solace after Moscow Mule
Tony Mowbray’s first competitive match in charge of Celtic has ended in a disappointing one nil defeat for the Bhoys to Dinamo Moscow. The Russians, who are already 15 games in to their season started the brighter and their match sharpness was evident in the opening few minutes.

Official Match Preview – Celtic v Dinamo Moscow
The wait is finally over as competitive football returns to Celtic Park tonight in the form of the Champions League 3rd round qualifier when the Bhoys entertain Dinamo Moscow. A game that the Celtic fans would rather not have had to face but one which Tony Mowbray believes the players are ready for.
Celtic have only had four pre-season friendly games as preparation for this important fixture however those games have given Mowbray, and the fans, some confidence after scoring 10 goals and conceding none.
Celtic will be without Scott Brown and Barry Robson in the midfield as both recover from injury, although both are back in full training their lack of match...

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.
While Celtic’s...
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.
O'Dea - an inspired performance from the...
