Mowbray: I want substance and style

18 January 2009
Mowbray checked in to Parkhead on Wednesday tasked with bringing some flair to the Celtic squad which came in for some criticism during Gordon Strachan's four-year tenure, despite the three Clydesdale Bank Premier League titles and three domestic trophies which were captured during that time.
And, the big Teessider, who will be joined from West Brom by assistant Mark Venus and coach Peter Grant, with current Hoops coach Neil Lennon making up the new management team, insists he is as hungry for trophies as any other manager, saying; "Good football has never been enough for me. It is something of a fallacy that's grown up (around me)."
The former Celtic defender has enjoyed praise for the way he sets out his sides at former clubs Hibernian and West Brom, even though the Baggies were relegated from the Barclays Premier League last season.
Consequently, Mowbray is under pressure not only to win at Celtic but to win with style.
"I am in this game to win and be successful and to progress as a coach," he added. "You only work within your means.
"I was very proud of what we achieved at West Brom and the way we played football.
"But yes, we need to win at Celtic and to bring silverware for the supporters.
"I'm confident that we can continue to be successful as Gordon Strachan was and Martin O`Neill before him.
"We have to continue that trend and try and build on it."
