Mowbray 'tempted' to play Fortune

Fortune came on as a second-half substitute in Saturday's 3-0 Scottish Premier League win over Kilmarnock, his first action since injuring his knee against Arsenal in August.[LNB]Sitting at the bottom of Europa League Group C with just one point from three games, the Hoops need a victory on Thursday to have a realistic chance of qualifying for the knockout phase.[LNB]Consequently, Celtic boss Mowbray will have to decide whether former Nancy striker Fortune , who cost £3.8million in the summer, is worth risking.[LNB]"Marco is fit and ready," Mowbray said. "He's been out for nine weeks and got 20 minutes or half an hour the other day.[LNB]"Am I tempted to play him? Yes.[LNB]"The more high-quality players on the pitch, the better it is but we have some strikers who will be bursting to score tomorrow night.[LNB]"So we will wait and see what we decide."[LNB]Mowbray refused to accept the win-or-bust scenario his side find themselves in with three games remaining.[LNB]He said: "Win or bust? As I said before, I wouldn't talk about win-or-bust games.[LNB]"It's a game where we have to be conscious of the quality of the opposition, of course.[LNB]"But we will try to win as we try to win every football match.[LNB]"We will be as positive as we can and try and get a positive result and see where we go from there."[LNB][LNB]
