Brown blow for Lennon
Celtic,
Last updated:
Scott Brown will miss Celtic's SPL home clash with Hibernian as he is facing another three weeks on the sidelines with a hip problem.
The Hoops skipper has been struggling with the injury since the summer but played the full 90 minutes of the 2-0 win against Swedish side Helsingborgs at Parkhead on Wednesday, which secured the Glasgow giants a place in the Champions League group stages where they will face Barcelona, Benfica and Spartak Moscow.
As a result Brown is set for another stint out of action and will not face the Hibees this weekend along with injured midfield counterparts Joe Ledley and Beram Kayal, as well as striker Anthony Stokes.
Georgios Samaras is also set to miss out and there are doubts over the fitness of defenders Charlie Mulgrew and Thomas Rogne.
