Lennon returning for Hoops

Celtic manager Martin O’Neill will recall Neil Lennon to his starting line-up for tomorrow’s UEFA Cup quarter-final with Villarreal.

The midfielder missed the dramatic weekend draw with Hearts because of a persistent leg injury.

Captain Stilian Petrov is also expected to start after being rested against the Edinburgh side while Bobo Balde will also play after being banned in Barcelona for the last round.

Chris Sutton (groin), Alan Thompson (hamstring) and Joos Valgaeren (hamstring) have also declared themselves fit after recent problems while Liam Miller is pushing for a place.

Provisional squad: Marshall, Lennon, McNamara, Balde, McManus, Valgaeren, Miller, Varga, Agathe, Pearson, Petrov, Thompson, Larsson, Sutton, Sylla, McGovern, Lambert, Mjallby, Beattie, Smith, Douglas.
