Just found this on bettingzone for Dinamo Moscow v Celtic.
[5.8.09]
2 point @ 7/4 - Bet365 - Aleksandr Kerzhakov to score anytime
Article By David John -
Tony Mowbray's honeymoon period is on the verge of an abrupt end if he fails to get his Celtic side through their Champions League qualifying clash with Dinamo Moscow.
The Bhoys jetted out to the Russian capital on Monday trailing by a goal to nil after last week's first leg at Parkhead.
The overriding impression in the build-up is one of confidence from the Glaswegians.
Mowbray has told his players to perform with no fear having witnessed his side squander enough chances to have put them well in command of the tie.
Better finishing would have made a significant difference to the scoreline as Celtic lay siege to the Dinamo goal as they attempted to battle back from what proved to be Alexander Kokorin's seventh-minute winner.
New signing Marc-Antoine Fortune was particularly culpable while Scott McDonald and Danny Fox also missed chances to level the scoring.
Captain Gary Caldwell also saw enough to suggest they can score twice in Moscow whilst keeping it tight at the back and bookmakers offer a best price of 11/4 that Celtic can win the match and they are 7/2 to qualify.
They have since been beaten 2-1 by Sunderland in a pre-season friendly but it is hard to read too much into that as Mowbray made wholesale changes to his line-up against the Black Cats.
Scott Brown got 60 minutes on his comeback from injury and he could be a welcome alternative for Mowbray to turn to as he bids to find the key to unlock the Dinamo defence.
But that is back-to-back defeats after such a promising start for Mowbray and getting the better of a Dinamo side that is unbeaten in four and still going well in their own domestic campaign is not going to be easy despite all the bullish noises coming from within the camp.
Dinamo beat basement dwellers Khimki 2-0 over the weekend and are a fraction of odds-against to turn over Celtic once more.
Their swift counterattack policy is sure to cause some problems and in-form striker Aleksandr Kerzhakov could prove a real menace.
He bagged the second against Khimki and has now notched nine goals in 14 games for Dinamo in the league.
He deserves a goal for his tireless efforts in Glasgow and is worth a punt at 7/4 to get on the scoresheet at some stage.
