"I'm disappointed about the result obviously, but I'm still optimistic,” Celtic new manager Tony Mowbray told journalists after the game.

"There was enough evidence there to give us encouragement going into the second leg.

"They were well-structured, organized and always a threat on the break, yet I believe that we have the quality to go there and cause them problems and score a goal.

"This was a game we could easily have won if we had taken our chances," Mowbray believes.

Mowbray’s Dinamo counterpart, Andrey Kobelev, said, "Even if it was 1-0 or 2-0 then the second game would still be difficult. History has shown that teams have had 3-0 wins from the first leg, but the second game was difficult for them. But we have a Russian Premier League game before then, which is important, and then we will think about the second game against Celtic."

The second leg will be held in the Moscow region, at the Russian Premier League side Khimki’s home arena, on August 5.
