Late test for Brown

11 February 2011 15:00
Neil Lennon will give Celtic skipper Scott Brown until Saturday to prove his fitness for Sunday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Dundee United at Tannadice. The Hoops 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. He said: "At the minute Brown is probably 50-50. We will have to wait to see how he is."
