Dane Gravesen came up against his fellow countrymen Copenhagen at Parkhead, and although he emerged on the winning side, former Aston Villa striker Allback was left unimpressed.

He said: "We did not think too much about Thomas Gravesen. We tried to just play our game and we know how he is.

"I was involved in one incident with him. He was so afraid to tackle me that he put his foot right up to cover himself and into me. So I told him that.

"I said 'You're afraid to put a proper tackle in, Gravesen.' He did not take it too well."
