Preview: Dundee United v Celtic (Sun)

by Setanta staff , 15 October 2010

Emilio Izaguirre, Paddy McCourt, Jos Hooiveld and Niall McGinn are all set to be fit for Celtic's Sunday trip to Dundee United.


All four have been missing of late but will look to help the Bhoys make it eight wins from eight in the SPL this season at Tannadice, ahead of the following week's Old Firm derby with Rangers.

Charlie Mulgrew (hamstring), James Forrest (ankle) and Thomas Rogne (calf) are still out while Irish striker Daryl Murphy (pictured) is to have an ankle knock monitored.

But captain Scott Brown will miss up to ten weeks with an ankle complaint and fellow midfielder Beram Kayal could be out for 12 weeks after he underwent a hernia operation on Friday.

Scotland winger Craig Conway will be back in the United side after missing more than a month with a knee injury. Meanwhile, defenders Darren Dods and Garry Kenneth are also free to play after recent injury scares, but midfielder Danny Swanson remains missing with a back problem.

Dundee United (from): Pernis, Dillon, Dods, Watson, Kenneth, Severin, Dixon, Douglas, Gomis, D Robertson, S Robertson, Buaben, Conway, Goodwillie, Daly, Cadamarteri, Shala, Russell, Hill, Dow, Banks.

Celtic (from): Forster, Loovens, Cha Du-Ri, Hooiveld, Izaguirre, Majstorovic, Juarez, Stokes, Ledley, Ki, Samaras, Murphy, Hooper, McGinn, McCourt, Crosas, Maloney, Wilson, Zaluska, Twardzik, Towell.
