The Hoops slipped to the foot of Europa League Group C despite Scott McDonald cancelling out Nikica Jelavic's early opener at Parkhead.[LNB]Reacting to the result, Mowbray told Five: "A bit of frustration, disappointment.[LNB]"I think we did enough to get the three points over the 90 minutes.[LNB]"And yet, in the last three (home) games, we've shot ourselves in the foot.[LNB]"Within five minutes, we've lost a goal at home and had to go chasing the football match.[LNB]"That's something we need to address very, very quickly, stop giving teams a goal start, particularly counter-attacking teams, who come and flood everybody behind the ball and try to hit you on the break.[LNB]"That said, I thought we stuck to our task well."[LNB]Mowbray said of Stephen McManus' mistake which led to Rapid's opener: "Don't play silly little balls into their midfield.[LNB]"The individuals who have made the mistakes have got to concentrate better."[LNB]Mowbray believes he has seen enough in the games against Hapoel Tel Aviv and Rapid to be confident of beating them in the reverse fixtures.[LNB]He added: "Hamburg is a big test for us.[LNB]"Back-to-back games now and their big games for us."[LNB]Goalscorer McDonald said: "We're disappointed not to get three points in the end.[LNB]"After the goal, we looked in control but we just couldn't put the ball in the back of the net.[LNB]"We put it in once but not twice."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
