Hoops hit by injuries

Celtic have several injury concerns for the Scottish Communities League Cup clash against Ross County.

Georgios Samaras (ribs) and Ki Sung-yueng (hamstring) are expected to miss out along with Mark Wilson (knee), who is suspended anyway, while Kelvin Wilson (thigh) is also a doubt.

Scott Brown (ankle) definitely drops out while Emilio Izaguirre (broken ankle) remains on the sidelines. Kris Commons is in contention following a groin problem.

Provisional squad: Forster, Matthews, El-Kaddouri, Kelvin Wilson, Majstorovic, Loovens, Mulgrew, Kayal, Ledley, Bangura, Hooper, Forrest, Commons, Stokes, Wanyama, Zaluska.
