Neil Lennon’s Celtic are in Scottish League Cup action this weekend.

Celtic midfielder Scott Brown has told The Scottish Sun that he is fit to play for the club this weekend.

The Hoops will take on take on Hibernian in the semi-finals of the Scottish League Cup on Saturday evening.

The Scottish midfielder picked up an injury during the Bhoys’ Scottish Premiership game against St. Mirren on Wednesday evening.

Brown has said that he is fit to start for Celtic against Hibernian in the Scottish League Cup this weekend.

However, Celtic manager Neil Lennon has said that the 34-year-old – who has been on the books of the Bhoys since the summer of 2007 when he joined from Hibernian for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £4.4 million – is “struggling”, but he has suggested that the midfielder could still play against Hibs.

Brown told The Scottish Sun on Thursday: “I’m okay. I came off as a precaution. I managed to train today, we did a cool down, went to the physios and everything is good.”

Celtic are favourites

Celtic have won the domestic treble in Scotland for the past three seasons, and the Hoops will head into the tie against Hibernian as favourites and should be able to win with ease.
