Mjallby wary of Hamilton threat

12 January 2011 08:30
Assistant manager Johan Mjallby insists there is no chance of Celtic underestimating the threat of Hamilton On Tuesday evening - despite being at opposite ends of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League. Accies sit rock bottom of the table and have failed to win a single league match at home so far this season, as they prepare to welcome the Hoops to New Douglas Park. In contrast, Celtic head into the clash hoping to strengthen their grasp on top spot, knowing that back to back wins against Hamilton and then Hibernian would allow them to move 10 points clear of Rangers before their rivals are next in action. But, despite the apparent gulf between the two clubs at the moment, Mjallby claims their opponents will be treated with respect. "We can't underestimate them. I don't think you can afford to do that in this league," he said. "They are fighting for their lives at the bottom of the table and we just want to keep on winning. "We are at the other end of the table and we need to win games as well. Away from home, we have been very solid and hopefully that can continue but we are going to treat them with respect."
