Mowbray expects 'quality' Dynamo

Celtic Park will host the first leg on 28/29 July, with the return game played on 4/5 August. Dinamo lie seventh in the Premier Liga after 13 games but Mowbray, having returned from a pre-season jaunt to Australia earlier in the week, was simply happy to have the first game at Parkhead. "It was going to be what is was going to be," the Hoops boss said. "We are happy to take whoever it was and I don't have any preferences in cup draws. "We are not in the industry of making excuses. "They are 13 games into their season and I'm sure they will be a quality side. "Russian teams are very fit, methodical and organised and I'm sure they will give us a tough test but I'm sure they are looking at the draw and thinking it is a big ask for them "In a strange sort of way, while you would like to play the second game of the tie at home, after the travelling we have done it is a benefit that we will be at home first."
