CUNNING AS A FOX; Danny has master plan to spike the Gunners by launching all-out attack.

Byline: MARK GUIDI

DANNY FOX doesn't do cunning plans.

That's why the Celtic full-back reckons Tony Mowbray should keep it simple when the Hoops chase a Champions League miracle against Arsenal.

Mowbray's men need a two-goal victory at the Emirates on Wednesday to keep their hopes alive after losing 2-0 in the first leg.

So Fox wants boss Mogga to ditch the lone striker plan he used at Parkhead and have a go at the Gunners - even though that could backfire spectacularly.

The Hoops went for it in Moscow in the last round and were rewarded with a thrilling 2-0 win over Dynamo.

And the Englishman believes they can pull off an even bigger shock if they go out with all guns blazing against Arsene Wenger's troops.

Talented

Fox said: "We just have to go for it and be positive. We got a shock win in Moscow so maybe we can do it again.

"The lads have to play with no fear. There's a difference between Arsenal and Dynamo but we have to forget who we are playing and think about ourselves.

"It might be risky going for it down there but we hope luck will be on our side. Arsenal had that in the first leg.

"They were the better side but didn't carve us open and we defended pretty well.

"However, Arsenal are a quality team. They pressed us high up the pitch and got joy from that. They are talented players but also didn't give us a breather for a second.

"That made it tough mentally and physically. They moved the ball from side to side and we had to chase it.

Wednesday, "We must try to do the same to them down there. We need to be calmer and not force passes. It's about cool heads."

Fox thought Celtic's defensive plan at Parkhead was working a treat before stopper William Gallas deflected home a lucky opener.

And the 23-year-old claimed that knocked the stuffing out of the Hoops. He said: "We did not let chances then before half-"That was Had we gone have been a "The goals bitter blows deflated us.

a sucker punch. in at 0-0 it would different game.

we lost were and totally Now we need to get in their faces more and not play into their hands. We were guilty of that in the first game."

Wenger could rest stars such as Cesc Fabregas, Andrei Arshavin and Thomas Vermaelen before a vital weekend Premiership clash at Manchester United.

But he has plenty of quality in reserve with Jack Wilshere, Eduardo and Mikael Silvestre ready to step in.

Whatever their line-up Fox is hoping the superstars take qualification for granted and underestimate Mowbray's men.

He said: "I hope they will be a bit complacent. Being two up they might approach things in a different way and give us more chance to play.

"If we can score first, especially early doors, then anything can happen.

"Arsenal would need to have an off day but we must believe we can go to London and make a bit of history."

To have any chance of progressing, Celts need all their players on top form.

Aiden McGeady will be their dangerman and Fox believes the Republic of Ireland winger is capable of unsettling the Gunners. He said: "Aiden will give any team problems. He has been different class since I came here. Shaun Maloney has been the same.

"It's crucial we get them on the ball as often as we can.

"I tried to get forward to support Aiden and the other attackers in the first leg but didn't always get the ball.

"Sometimes I felt just like a y-stander running up and down.

"But I'll keep making those unselfish runs.

"It's all about doing what's best for the team and that's what I will do if I'm playing at the Emirates."

Difference

Fox still can't believe he's playing against the likes of Arsenal but there's no doubt the pounds 1million summer buy from Coventry merits a starting slot.

Danny smiled: "I'm happy here and the atmosphere in the first leg blew me away. I came here to play in big nights and this will be another one.

"This time last year I was turning out for Coventry away to Doncaster Rovers. Not much difference to Arsenal in the Champions League!"
