Agathe injury woe for Bhoys

Celtic winger Didier Agathe is battling to be fit for tomorrow’s Champions League final qualifying first leg tie with FC Basel.

The Frenchman has been making good progress from a groin injury, but the Parkhead clash could still be too early for him meaning Momo Sylla will continue to deputise.

Manager Martin O’Neill welcomes back striker John Hartson after recovering from a knee problem but midfielder Alan Thompson is still sidelined with an ankle injury.

Provisional squad: Agathe, Balde, Boyd, Crainey, Douglas, Fernandez, Gould, Guppy, Hartson, Healy, Hedman, Lambert, Larsson, Laursen, Lennon, Maloney, McNamara, Mjallby, Petrov, Petta, Smith, Sutton, Sylla, Valgaeren.
