McManus back for Celtic

Stephen McManus has returned to the Celtic defence as a replacement for the suspended Gary Caldwell for today's SPL clash with Hamilton at Parkhead.

McManus partners Glenn Loovens in what is the only change to the Hoops side that lost 2-1 at Hearts last week to remain four points behind SPL leaders Rangers.

Hamilton boss Billy Reid also makes one change to the side that beat Aberdeen 2-1 in their last outing, midfielder Marco Paixao coming in for Guillaume Beuzelin, with Mickael Antoine-Curier playing as the lone striker.

Celtic: Boruc, Hinkel, Loovens, McManus, Daniel Fox, McGeady, Crosas, N’Guemo, Robson, McDonald, Samaras.

Subs: Zaluska, Fortune, Wilson, Zhi, McGinn, Forrest, Caddis.

Subs: Murdoch, Evans, Flavio Paixao, Kirkpatrick, Beuzelin, Crawford, Sullivan.

Referee: S O’Reilly.
