Celtic midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura will almost certainly miss tomorrow’s Champions League clash with Benfica at Parkhead.

The Japan international has missed the Hoops’ last two matches with a knee injury and did not train last week.

Manager Gordon Strachan, looking for the three points that would take his side off the bottom of Group D, rates Nakamura’s chances of making the kick-off as “not great”.

Provisional squad: Boruc, Caldwell, Naylor, Kennedy, McManus, Jarosik, Hartley, Scott Brown, McGeady, McDonald, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Nakamura, Mark Brown, Sno, O’Dea, O’Brien, Killen, Riordan.
