Lennon includes Brown in Celtic squad

Scott Brown is in the Celtic squad for the Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Dundee United at Tannadice on Sunday.

The Hoops skipper has been battling with a hip problem this season and it was believed that manager Neil Lennon might leave him out with a view to next Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Barcelona at Parkhead.

Georgios Samaras (ankle) and James Forrest (hamstring) are unlikely to feature.

Provisional squad: Forster, Matthews, Lustig, Wilson, Rogne, Mulgrew, Ambrose, Izaguirre, Brown, Kayal, Wanyama, Ledley, Commons, Forrest, Samaras, Miku, Hooper, McCourt, Zaluska, Watt.
