Injured Celtic quartet miss out

Celtic manager Neil Lennon will be without four key players for Thursday's must-win Europa League clash at Udinese.
Lennon looks set to hand Kelvin Wilson his first start for the Bhoys since September but Glenn Loovens, Adam Matthews, Kris Commons and Joe Ledley all failed to board the flight to Italy.
However, Lennon has been handed a boost by the news that Wilson and full-back Emilio Izaguirre are both available after lengthy spells on the sidelines.

Assistant manager Johan Mjallby confirmed: "Kelvin Wilson is in contention, that's why he's travelling. I know he's been out for some time but he had a bounce game last week and mentally he's ready.
"Adam Matthews, Kris Commons and Joe Ledley are out but the good news is that Emilio Izaguirre is fit and travelling with us. Glenn Loovens is unfortunately out for another ten days."
Loovens sustained a hamstring injury against Hearts on Saturday.
Celtic are 12.00 to win 1-0 against Udinese with Gary Hooper 9.00 to score the opening goal. Lennon's side are 12122.00 to win the Europa League while Udinese can be backed at 1213.00.
