Venus craving success

Fri 26 Jun, 11:11 AM


Celtic assistant manager Mark Venus is well aware of the intense demands that will be put upon him and manager Tony Mowbray at Parkhead next season.

The new Hoops' management team of Venus, Mowbray and first-team coach Peter Grant, were announced last week and already they are preparing for the first Champions League qualifier on July 28 or 29, which comes before the Clydesdale Bank Premier League season begins on August 15.

"My priority is to be successful, first and foremost. There is no other priority for me," said Venus.

"The club is as big as any in the league is and we are expected to win things.

"And the bottom line for me is I want to win things."

Venus accepts he is entering a different financial situation from which he operated under last season at West Brom when the Baggies were in the Barclays Premier League.

He said: "Teams like Bolton and Fulham can go out and spend £10million on a player and give them x amount of millions of pounds per year.

"We can only spend what we've got, but hopefully we can use what we are given wisely.

"We are not going to be able to purchase the finished article, we are going to have to improve players from wherever we sign them from.

"But we understand that the club craves success and we do too."
