Mowbray mindful of Rapid breaks

30 September 2009 10:10
Mowbray has been studying footage of Rapid's Europa League victories over Aston Villa and Hamburg and has been impressed by their ability to break. Celtic go into the game looking to get off the mark against group leaders Rapid following defeat at Hapoel Tel Aviv. And Mowbray believes the Austrian side, who beat SC Magna 3-1 at the weekend, offer a similar threat to Dinamo Moscow, who won at Celtic Park in the Champions League qualifiers. "I've been studying footage of Rapid and we had someone over at their game at the weekend," Mowbray told the Celtic View. "They are a very good counter-attacking side and are not too unlike Dinamo Moscow. "They can be very dangerous. I watched their game at Villa Park again last week and while Villa won the game 2-1, Rapid created so many chances late on. They could have scored three or four. "It was the same with their match against Hamburg. The German side had most of the ball and probably have better quality, yet they were 3-0 down to a very assured Rapid side who knew what they were doing."
