Celtic midfielder Jiri Jarosik is very doubtful for the trip to Motherwell after picking up a bad injury in the St Stephens Day draw with Dundee United.

The former Chelsea player had eight stitches inserted in his shin and Hoops boss Gordon Strachan is unlikely to risk him.

Bobo Balde broke his leg against United and joins Gary Caldwell, Mark Wilson (both knee) and Shaun Maloney (ankle) on the injury list, while Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink has only done light training after a hamstring problem.

However, Neil Lennon returns from suspension for the Fir Park outing.

Provisional squad: Boruc, Telfer, O’Dea, McManus, Naylor, Nakamura, Gravesen, Sno, Lennon, McGeady, Riordan, Jarosik, Zurawski, Miller, Marshall, Beattie, Pearson, Quinn, Conroy.
