Brown could face bench duty for Bhoys

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan has the sort of selection issues his opposite number Walter Smith can only dream about ahead of tomorrow’s Old Firm clash with injury-hit Rangers.

While Rangers must cope without Kevin Thomson, Carlos Cuellar, Allan McGregor, Lee McCulloch, Charlie Adam, Steven Naismith and Chris Burke through a combination of injury and suspension, Strachan could show off the Celtic squad’s current strength by naming £4.4m man Scott Brown on the bench.
