McManus back for Celtic

Celtic skipper Stephen McManus returns from suspension for the Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with St Mirren at Parkhead.

Midfielders Zheng Zhi and Paddy McCourt are back after recovering from a knock and illness respectively, while goalkeeper Artur Boruc is back in training after recovering from a knee operation but will not be risked.

Celtic will be missing Scott Brown and Shaun Maloney for a further two months, the former Hibernian player going to Amsterdam for an operation on his ankle next week and the latter set to undergo a course of injections to clear tendinitis in his Achilles.

Team (from): Zaluska, Caldwell, McManus, Loovens, Daniel Fox, Hinkel, Robson, McGeady, N’Guemo, McCourt, Zheng Zhi, Crosas, McDonald, McGinn, Fortune, Samaras, Naylor, Flood, Caddis, Cervi, Thompson.
