Robson doubt for Hoops

Celtic midfielder Barry Robson is still struggling to recover from a groin injury ahead of the visit of Aberdeen in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.

Defender Gary Caldwell will serve a one-match ban after being sent off against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park last week for handball.

Glenn Loovens will therefore partner Stephen McManus in the heart of the Hoops defence.

Provisional squad: Boruc, Wilson, Hinkel, Loovens, McManus, Naylor, Scott Brown, Crosas, Hartley, Nakamura, Maloney, Robson, McGeady, Samaras, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Mark Brown, McDonald, O’Dea, Caddis.
