Lennon to give Scott Brown late fitness test for Tannadice trip

NEIL Lennon will give Celtic skipper Scott Brown until tomorrow to prove his fitness for Sunday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Dundee United at Tannadice.

The midfielder pulled up in the warm-up before Scotland's Carling Nations Cup win over Northern Ireland at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Wednesday night with an aggravation of a groin complaint and was replaced by James McArthur.

Celtic boss Lennon described Craig Levein's decision to withdraw Brown as "sensible" but the Irishman has been left with a similar situation.
