Hoops pair to travel

Shunsuke Nakamura and Stephen McManus have both been passed fit for Celtic’s Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash at Aberdeen tomorrow.

Provisional squad: Boruc, Caldwell, McManus, Crosas, Loovens, Naylor, Hinkel, Flood, Nakamura, McGeady, Mizuno, Vennegoor of Hesselink, McDonald, Mark Brown, Ferry, Misun, Maloney, Hartley.
