Wilson faces Euro agony

Celtic defender Mark Wilson will almost certainly miss the Champions League clash with AC Milan at Parkhead next week.

Celtic defender Mark Wilson will almost certainly miss the Champions League clash with AC Milan at Parkhead next week.

The former Dundee United defender and midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura both missed Sunday’s Clydesdale Bank Premier League defeat to Hibernian with knee injuries and are out of tomorrow’s CIS Insurance Cup tie at Dundee, with Aiden McGeady a doubt after taking a knock at Easter Road.

Celtic boss Gordon Strachan is sceptical about the chances of Wilson returning for the visit of the Italians, however he is confident Nakamura will be back in contention.

Provisional squad: Boruc, Perrier Doumbe, Caldwell, McManus, Naylor, Hartley, Scott Brown, Donati, Riordan, McGeady, Vennegoor of Hesselink, McDonald, Killen, Mark Brown, Zurawski, Sno, O’Brien, O’Dea.
