Mowbray: “Ultimately not good enough”
Celtic’s failure - yet again - to win at home saw the Bhoys surrender the lead at the top of the SPL table to Rangers this weekend.
On an immensely disappointing afternoon with few positives other than a clean sheet, and the welcome return of Barry Robson, Tony Mowbray’s men lacked any finesse up front. Strikers Scott McDonald and Georgios Samaras were starved of any quality ball from a midfield that, surprisingly, did not feature new acquisition Zheng Zhi.
Additionally, first-choice fullbacks Danny Fox and Andreas Hinkel again missed out,...
Celtic v Motherwell Official TalkCeltic Match Preview
Celtic will be looking to get back on the winning track when the Bhoys take on Motherwell at Celtic Park on Saturday after their loss to Rangers in the first Old Firm derby of the season. The visit of the Steelmen will have seen Celtic take on all of the current top 6 teams in the SPL, and Hearts, within the opening eight fixtures of the season as Mowbray pointed out a very tough start for the Bhoys.
“My view is that you have to play every team at some point, but when the fixtures came out, it did look like a very tough start for us in terms of league games.”
The international break has provided Tony Mowbray’s men with some much needed respite...
CALDWELL ON THE WAY OUT, AS O'DEA RETURN LOOMS
The saga surrounding Gary Caldwell’s contract negotiations took another turn today, with French League side Nice stepping up their interest in the Scottish International.

After the league defeat to Rangers, the perception of many was that the International break had come at the wrong time for Celtic; a full two week period, without the opportunity to right the wrongs of a disappointing afternoon was not an enticing prospect.
Nevertheless, this cloud of a fortnight without any domestic action has provided Tony Mowbray with an undoubted silver lining, with the news that a raft of players unavailable or not fully fit for the Old Firm encounter are nearing the end of their recuperation process, and are ready to once again push for a first team berth.

Lawwell ups the ante for Old Firm departure.
Speaking ahead of next month’s EPL meeting - where debate will revolve around Phil Gartside’s “two tier” proposal with two leagues of 18 teams in England, including Rangers and Celtic – Peter Lawwell intonated his belief in the inevitability of change.
For certain, things won't stay the same," he stated. "There are so many dynamics in world football, and the world is getting smaller."
Celtic’s Chief Executive also moved swiftly to quash any concerns that an Old Firm exit would prove catastrophic for Scottish football in general, saying “there are only two teams that can win the league. If you accept that competition is the lifeblood of sport, the...
