Celtic have injury concerns over all of their recognised first-team strikers ahead of the visit of Dunfermline.

Kenny Miller is recovering from dental surgery but should play while Craig Beattie trained for the first time today following a hamstring problem.

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink (hamstring) is not fit enough to start, Maciej Zurawski (calf) is out and even teenager Cillian Sheridan, who made his debut last week, is doubtful with a broken hand and a back problem.

Bobo Balde (broken leg) remains on the sidelines but Shunsuke Nakamura is expected to play despite breaking a bone in his hand.

Provisional squad: Boruc, Wilson, McManus, O’Dea, Naylor, Nakamura, Sno, Lennon, Gravesen, McGeady, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Miller, Jarosik, McGovern, Telfer, Riordan, Perrier-Doumbe, Kennedy, Sheridan, Beattie, Hartley, Pressley.
