Hartley back for Celtic

Celtic midfielder Paul Hartley has recovered from a neck injury to take his place in Gordon Strachan’s squad for tomorrow’s Champions League Group E opener against Danish side Aalborg at Parkhead.

Hartley missed Saturday’s 4-2 win over Motherwell at Fir Park but trained today along with defender Mark Wilson who has shrugged off a knee injury picked up in the same game.

Striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink returns from suspension although he missed training to be with his pregnant wife.

Provisional squad: Boruc, Wilson, Caldwell, McManus, Hinkel, Naylor, Robson, Crosas, Nakamura, Hartley, S Brown, Maloney, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Samaras, McDonald, Sheridan, M Brown, McGeady, Loovens, Donati, Caddis.
