Mowbray shows Wenger respect
Tony Mowbray has hailed Arsene Wenger ahead of Celtic's UEFA Champions League clash with Arsenal.
The Hoops have come up against Manchester United several times in recent years and the Glasgow giants were awarded another all-British encounter in Europe on Friday when they were paired with the Gunners in a play-off for a place in the group phase.
Celtic boss Mowbray and Arsenal counterpart Wenger have both come in for criticism in the past for being too focused on playing attractive football, sometimes at the expense of results.
But Mowbray has nothing but admiration for the philosophy of the man he will pit his wits against over two legs later this month.
"I have huge respect for Arsene and the job he's done at Arsenal," Mowbray told his club's official website.
"He's had a lot of success at the club and has built a side that plays the game in the right way.
"They don't spend the millions on players that other English clubs do, but they play with a real style and always try to entertain. That's down to Arsene and his philosophies."
Despite praising the Frenchman, Mowbray has vowed to leave no stone unturned as he tries to mastermind a shock win over Wenger's young side.
"We will be doing everything we possibly can to get to the group stages of the UEFA Champions League," he said.
"The club has had a lot of success in the tournament in recent years and we will try to continue that."
