Mowbray has fresh outlook
Celtic host St Johnstone on Saturday before playing St Mirren and Kilmarnock in the following seven days as they bid to keep alive their faint SPL hopes.[LNB]The players returned to training yesterday after some time off and Mowbray is looking for his squad to repay him.[LNB]"I have to make sure that everything is done properly and is disciplined," Mowbray told Celtic's Huddle Online programme.[LNB]"We have to make sure that the players are aware that we have their welfare at heart and are trying to make sure that they are in best frame of mind for football matches, as well as physically ready to play.[LNB]"There is always a balance there. You can't train them every single day and run them into the ground.[LNB]"They have to be happy and content with the preparation for football matches and sometimes, off the back of an intense run of fixtures and important games, it's not bad to relieve the pressure on them and get them away from the training ground for a few days."[LNB]Mowbray is expecting a tricky test against St Johnstone, who are only three points off sixth-placed Hearts, with two games in hand, following back-to-back victories against Falkirk and Aberdeen.[LNB]The former West Brom and Hibernian manager said: "They have different types of player and can play in different ways.[LNB]"Any team that is coming up from the division below us is going to need time to adjust and get used to the environment and St Johnstone seem to have found their feet.[LNB]"They've had some very good results over the past few weeks and will come to Celtic Park with confidence, having won their last couple of games."[LNB][LNB][LNB]
