Sutton and Zurawski set for Hoops return

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan is considering whether to bring Chris Sutton and Maciej Zurawski back for the Bank of Scotland Premier League clash with Dunfermline at Parkhead.

Sutton has not played since the win at Dundee United on October 30, but is back in contention after shaking off a problem behind his knee.

Zurawski has not featured since the 5-0 victory at Livingston seven weeks ago after suffering a hamstring injury on international duty with Poland in the World Cup qualifying defeat by England but is hoping to feature again.

But Shaun Maloney is out after spraining his ankle in the victory over Rangers last week and Strachan has the option of bringing Sutton or Zurawksi in alongside John Hartson or moving the in-form Aiden McGeady into a more central role.

Stanislav Varga is sidelined with a groin problem.

Provisional squad: Boruc, Telfer, Balde, McManus, Camara, Petrov, Lennon, Hartson, Nakamura, Agathe, Marshall, Virgo, McGeady, Wallace, Lawson, Pearson, Thompson, Sutton, Zurawski.
