Mowbray praises Celtic spirit

TONY MOWBRAY claimed his side’s dramatic Europa League comeback to draw 3-3 against Rapid Vienna in the Ernst Happel Stadium last night epitomised the spirit of the Parkhead club.

An experimental Hoops side with seven changes from last weekend’s win over Motherwell found themselves three goals behind after only 19minutes in the Group C dead rubber as Nikica Jelavic grabbed a double before strike partner Hamdi Salihi’s goal threatened a rout.

However, Celtic refused to buckle completely and began a thrilling comeback when striker Marc-Antoine Fortune scored before the break.
