Celtic set for Europe

Celtic trained at Lennoxtown today in preparation for Wednesday night's Champions League third round qualifier against Dynamo Moscow at Parkhead.

Tony Mowbray's men have looked good in pre-season games but face a stiff test against a Russian outfit who are well into their season and are fifth in the table following a 1-1 draw with city rivals Lokomotiv at the weekend.

Mowbray said: "It's up to the players on the pitch to produce the goods and win matches but the feeling and confidence they get from the passion in the stands also plays a big part. We've all got a big role to play on Wednesday night and that includes the supporters.

"There is a real professionalism about the players here, they have as good a focus as any players that I've ever worked with. They are sharp and ready and looking forward to the challenge.

"There are always mixed emotions before a game and 'excited' is one of them but you are always wary of the opposition and the quality they possess."
