Ljungberg could face Rangers

Paddy McCourt hopes Celtic can fill the void created by captain Scott Brown’s absence in Sunday’s Old Firm derby at Ibrox – and the man to fill the gap could be Freddie Ljungberg.

Midfielder Brown, who had only recently returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a foot injury, was sent off in the closing stages of Wednesday night’s 1-0 win over Motherwell after picking up two yellow cards.
