Tony Mowbray is considering starting fit-again Marc-Antoine Fortune in Thursday night's crunch Europa League clash with Hamburg.

Fortune came on as a second-half substitute in Saturday's 3-0 Clydesdale Bank Premier League win over Kilmarnock, his first action since injuring his knee against Arsenal in August.

Sitting at the bottom of Europa League Group C with just one point from three games, the Hoops need a victory on Thursday to have a realistic chance of qualifying for the knockout phase.

Consequently, Celtic boss Mowbray will have to decide whether former Nancy striker Fortune , who cost £3.8million in the summer, is worth risking.

"Marco is fit and ready," Mowbray said. "He's been out for nine weeks and got 20 minutes or half an hour the other day.

"Am I tempted to play him? Yes.

"The more high-quality players on the pitch, the better it is but we have some strikers who will be bursting to score tomorrow night.

"So we will wait and see what we decide."

Mowbray refused to accept the win-or-bust scenario his side find themselves in with three games remaining.

He said: "Win or bust? As I said before, I wouldn't talk about win-or-bust games.

"It's a game where we have to be conscious of the quality of the opposition, of course.

"But we will try to win as we try to win every football match.

"We will be as positive as we can and try and get a positive result and see where we go from there."
