Brown suspended for Celtic

Celtic midfielder Scott Brown is suspended for the Hoops’ Scottish Cup quarter-final tie against Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Sunday.

The former Hibernian midfielder picked up yellow cards in the previous two cup games against Stirling Albion and Kilmarnock to incur the one-match ban.

Defender Andreas Hinkel returns to the squad after being cup-tied for the Champions League defeat by Barcelona in midweek.

Provisional squad: Boruc, Hinkel, Wilson, Caldwell, McManus, Naylor, Nakamura, Hartley, McDonald, Donati, Sno, McGeady, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Samaras, Mark Brown, Pressley, Robson, O’Dea.
