Mowbray happy with goalkeepers

Tue, 27 Oct 22:55:57 2009

Tony Mowbray will have no compunction in keeping Lukasz Zaluska in goal for Celtic's Co-operative Insurance Cup quarter-final tie with Hearts at Parkhead on Wednesday.

The former Dundee United goalkeeper made his first Clydesdale Bank Premier League appearance of the season as a replacement for the injured Artur Boruc in Sunday's 2-1 win over Hamilton at New Douglas Park.

"Lukasz is a good goalkeeper," he said. "We see it every day with him and Artur, they drive each other on, they compete and I have every confidence in him."

The victory took the visitors a point above Old Firm rivals Rangers at the top of the table and it was thanks to Zaluska, who saved the day with a last-gasp save when confronted by Accies skipper James McArthur.

Now Mowbray will have to choose between his two Polish goalkeepers for the visit of the Jambos.

"Artur could have played against Hamilton, it was more precautionary," Mowbray said.

"I'm sure a rest for a week or two will sort the problem out.

"I've always said that keepers are there to make saves and to be honest Lukasz didn't have too much to do for 87 minutes."

  2. zz i've been hearing that for about two seasons now­ imo the team not up to the job, well hers's hoping­ that wgs will take caldwell away in january thank the­ lord says i look at the goals he's lost this season­ alone you are a goal down before a ball is kicked when­ he's a centre back and i hope captain mcmanus will­ swiftly follow him out the door maybe then mogga can­ start to rebuild the team from the back cos we have two­ cracking keepers put two good central men in front of­ them and the goals against will stop over night

  3. I'm with you zzgus...I'm sure there's a­ good team in there if they can get the confidence­ levels up. Supporters need to get behind them at times­ like this as there's no blank cheque waiting to be­ signed for new players. Any day now, it will all click­ into place and someone is going to get a real hiding.
