Bhoys star: Don't stop believing

The Hoops were beaten 2-0 by the Gunners in last week's play-off round first-leg tie at Parkhead. Qualifying for the group stage therefore looks a tall order, especially as Celtic will almost certainly have to score three goals at the Emirates Stadium in order to go through. However, Maloney is drawing strength from the performance in the second round qualifier away to Dinamo Moscow, when Celtic trailed 1-0 going into the away leg before producing a 2-0 victory on Russian soil to turn the tie around in their favour. "If we can nick the first goal as we did in Moscow, that would give us a chance to get the tie back, and start to put Arsenal under a bit of pressure," Maloney told the club's official website. "We know we need a great result. "We've not given up the tie yet. We've not settled for playing in the Europa League, we cannot do that. "We know how difficult it is going to be to go through and that the odds are massively against us, but we have to believe that we can win at the Emirates." Arsenal 1/3, Draw 10/3, Celtic 6/1
