Celtic boss Tony Mowbray refuses to give up on the Europa League, despite a goalless draw at Hamburg leaving them at the bottom of Group C. The Parkhead men need to beat Hapoel Tel Aviv at home and Rapid Vienna away - while hoping that Hamburg lose both their remaining games.

"Every other game doesn't seem to be as close - there has been a 5-1 and a 3-0 - but regarding the group, we have two matches left and we have to take maximum points.

"That has got to be our focus at the moment.

"Obviously we have to look at the league games, but when the European games come along we have to try and take maximum points and see if that is enough."

Once again, Mowbray watched his side fall short in front of goal. Celtic had recorded just 13 shots on target in the previous three Group C games.

"It was a frustrating performance again," Mowbray conceded.

"We should have come in at half-time 2-0 up. We had a couple of clear-cut chances that didn't go in.

"The Europe campaign has been like that this season. It has been very tight, and things haven't fallen our way.

"It was a tight game against Hamburg at Celtic Park - and it didn't fall our way that night.

"We could easily have been sitting here saying that we won tonight.

"That's the fine margins in football."
