We must raise our game - Wilson
Mowbray admitted he had to improve the quality of his squad after he suffered his third European home defeat.[LNB]Scott Brown, Shaun Maloney and Scott McDonald had the best first-half chances but Celtic were sloppy in possession and they looked a beaten team after Marcus Berg fired home from 20 yards in the 63rd minute.[LNB]Mowbray would not question his players' effort but he gave a frank assessment of their performance levels.[LNB]"It is down to the players to prove that they are good enough to stay at this club and play for these supporters, come January," the Parkhead boss said.[LNB]"We will try to find the right players of the right quality to lift the team and we are working hard behind the scenes to find those players."[LNB]Wilson - who has started each of the last four games, which Celtic have failed to win - admitted his own future had crossed his mind.[LNB]"He's a new manager and since he has come in, the players haven't set the place alight," Wilson said.[LNB]"It's been a pretty disappointing start to the season, to be honest.[LNB]"So I think he has got a point, he can only judge the players on what he has seen and it's been poor.[LNB]"With a new manager you're always playing for your career but when you start the season quite poorly, especially in the last four weeks, it creeps into your mind."[LNB]Wilson admitted they had failed to perform the most basic tasks as they remained bottom of their Europa League group with one point - five behind both Hamburg and Hapoel Tel Aviv.[LNB]"I don't think we passed the ball well enough at all," Wilson said. "Too many five-yard passes went astray and at this level in Europe that tends to punish you.[LNB]"They kept the ball really well but they didn't cause us too many problems until the goal where I think it was a catalogue of errors. We couldn't get it back after that.[LNB]"I played through the tail end when Celtic Park was a kind of fortress in Europe and teams feared coming here, but I think we have lost that a bit."[LNB]Celtic next face Hamburg in Germany and finish off their group campaign at Rapid Vienna, and Wilson admits their qualification hopes are hanging by a thread.[LNB]"I don't want to say 'no, we can't (qualify)' and the Celtic fans think we're giving up," the 25-year-old said.[LNB]"We're not going to give up, we'll try and win every game we can. But it's going to be very tough."[LNB][LNB]
