Tony Mowbray says that only time will tell whether Town's UEFA Cup qualification will be a help or a hindrance to the club's promotion push. The man known as Mogga does feel that a second season of European football is a big bonus for fans.

The former Celtic and Boro player said: "Hopefully it will be a bonus for fans and a bonus for the club. But we must not let it deflect in any way from our main aim which is to get out of the First Division and back into the Premiership.

"The European campaign might turn out to be a lovely run of matches for us. It might be a really exciting sortie into Europe that will work in our favour as regards a First Division that can be a tough league to get out of."
