Scottish Premier League - Team news: Celtic duo passed fit

Eurosport - Fri, 01 May 15:42:00 2009

Shunsuke Nakamura and Stephen McManus have both been passed fit for Celtic's Scottish Premier League clash at Aberdeen on Saturday.

2008-2009 SPL Celtic Shunsuke Nakamura - 0

Nakamura (pictured) will shake off a groin strain and McManus will play despite being troubled by an ankle injury in recent weeks.

Scott Brown begins a two-match suspension and Barry Robson, Georgios Samaras, Mark Wilson and Darren O'Dea remain on the sidelines.

Aberdeen will face Celtic without their first-choice strike partnership.

Darren Mackie has failed to shrug off a hamstring injury while Lee Miller misses out through suspension.

Defender Zander Diamond also misses out after undergoing surgery on an ankle problem, midfielders Derek Young and Jamie Smith are both out with hamstring injuries but Mark Kerr returns after illness.

He is celtic through and through but he still­ came to his senses.
