Lennon missing for Hoops

Celtic will be without skipper Neil Lennon for the trip to face Hearts at Tynecastle in the Bank of Scotland Premier League on Sunday.

Lennon, 33, was sent off in the 1-0 win over Falkirk just before Christmas and missed the next game against Dundee United. However, his misdemeanour took him over the points threshold and he misses a further two SPL fixtures.

Stopper Stephen McManus is again a doubt due to his long-standing groin injury.

Provisional squad: Boruc, Telfer, Pressley, O’Dea, Naylor, Nakamura, Riordan, Gravesen, Sno, McGeady, Zurawski, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Miller, Marshall, Jarosik, Beattie. McManus, Conroy.
