Celtic boss Tony Mowbray is still optimistic about progress in the Champions League despite a 1-0 defeat by Dinamo Moscow in the first leg of their third qualifier at Parkhead. He said: "I'm disappointed about the result obviously but I'm still optimistic.

"There was enough evidence there to give us encouragement going into the second leg.

"They were well-structured, organised and always a threat on the break yet I believe that we have the quality to go there and cause them problems and score a goal.

"This was a game we could easily have won if we had taken our chances.

"It will be interesting to see how they set up, they don't have to force the game so we have to wait and see if we can take some of the chances as opposed to the chances that we missed here.

"I would expect us to have enough of the ball to create chances over there.

"I would hope that the players would take those chances."

Mowbray refused to blame Fortune's first-half miss from Shaun Maloney's cross for the disappointing result.

The Celtic boss said: "Shaun Maloney missed a good opportunity as did Georgios Samaras so we can't blame one player.

"The team missed opportunities."
