Celtic are hoping Scott Brown, James Forrest, Paddy McCourt and Gary Hooper will be fit to play in tonight's Champions League tie.

The Hoops face Helsingborgs in the first leg of their play-off match and the quartet have travelled to Sweden with Neil Lennon's squad.
All four players missed Saturday's 1-1 draw at Ross County but Celtic assistant manager Johan Mjallby believes they should pass their fitness tests and feature for the SPL side.
"We have Scott Brown, James Forrest, Paddy McCourt and Gary Hooper all travelling," he said.
"We are going to train later on at the stadium and see how they are.
"Some of them were training yesterday and they looked good."
When questioned whether he thought the players would be ready to play, Mjallby said: "I am. It is a big game and the players want to be part of that."
The fixture, which will be played at Helsingborgs' Olympia Stadium, is Celtic's first against Swedish opposition.
Helsingborgs currently hold the Swedish Allsvenskan but have been disappointing in the league this season, currently resting in fifth place after 19 games.
