Celtic boss Tony Mowbray insists he is focusing on building a team, not worrying about getting the sack.

The former West Brom tactician is under heavy pressure, with the Bhoys 13 points adrift of Rangers in the title race.

The ex-Celtic player was a popular appointment following his work at The Hawthorns, but his record has not lived up to the hype.

Mowbray is under pressure to have a strong finish to the season with some speculating he could be dismissed from his position.

Not worried

"Do I worry?" replied Mowbray to questions over his job security. "Why should I worry? Me, worry about it?

"I have more concerns, me, I'm only here to do a job and build a team.

"I don't worry, I have my own worries in life. You've got the wrong guy. It doesn't impact on my life. Do I worry? No.

"Yet, I don't like the idea of me telling you (the media) that, because I see your headlines. You ask leading questions and spin them around."

Chances

Meanwhile, Mowbray is hoping lightening does not strike twice when Celtic tackle Kilmarnock in the Scottish Cup this weekend.

The Bhoys lost 1-0 in SPL action recently at Rugby Park and Mowbray believes if they take their chances they will avoid another defeat.

"The defeat against Kilmarnock was a day when we didn't take our opportunities and paid for it," he continued.

"If those opportunities come along this weekend hopefully we will take some of them and have a good day.

"If we do then great. We will be one step closer to a cup final but Kilmarnock are a decent side and will make life very difficult for us."
