Celtic still have work to do to convince fans that football at Parkhead is worth watching, according to midfielder Marc Crosas. Crosas was promoting Celtic's half season-ticket offer, with books starting at £27 for children as the club seek to fill a ground that has lost some of its atmosphere in recent months.

Celtic have won just three out of 10 home matches under Mowbray, a record that has impacted on their gates.

"That's in our hands," he said. "If you play good football, we know the fans will come. I know Celtic fans are always with the team.

"Of course you always want to play in front of 60,000 people, but we understand if you're not doing your best, they won't come."

As well as fans staying away, there were supporters who vented their frustration after Celtic drew 3-3 at Clydesdale Bank Premier League bottom club Falkirk.

But Crosas feels such criticism can force improvement.

"Maybe that's good for us," he said. "If you are top of the league and people want more from us that's good because we need to give more.

"We can't just be thinking everything's okay because we are top of the league."

While Crosas admits Celtic have much to do, he does believe they are heading in the right direction.

"I think we have played great games as well," he said. "Maybe we need more luck or need to finish our chances.

"We were talking about that, maybe in a few games we had a lot of chances and didn't score enough goals.

"Of course we can be better but we're top of the league and that's the best thing for us.

"If you win the league and didn't play well in some games it doesn't matter. But it will come."
