Hoops duo sit out

17 December 2010 17:30
Celtic will be without skipper Shaun Maloney and defender Glenn Loovens for the trip to Hamilton. Maloney will be out for up to four months after undergoing ankle surgery on Monday while his Dutch team-mate is out for a month with a knee problem. Striker Georgios Samaras is a doubt with an Achilles injury and will be tested before kick-off. Gary Hooper has returned to training after recovering from a virus and will also be assessed while James Forrest has recovered from an ankle injury.
