Lennon tempted to start Ljungberg

Neil Lennon admits he is hugely tempted to start Freddie Ljungberg in Sunday's Old Firm game at Ibrox but revealed Olivier Kapo and Daryl Murphy are out. The former Arsenal star, 33, will officially complete his move to the Parkhead club on Saturday and will be eligible for the game against Rangers when international clearance comes through, as expected. Speaking at the club's Lennoxtown training complex alongside the Swedish legend, Lennon said: "My only concern is that Freddie hasn't played a lot of football since October, he hasn't played any. "I don't want to bring him in and then he breaks down because he has that lack of football or training. I will talk to the medical staff and Freddie over the next couple of days. "There is a huge temptation because he is a quality player. Kapo tweaked a hamstring, it could be two or three weeks and Daryl is a strange one. "At first it looked like an Achilles but it could be a lower calf strain. Barring those two everyone else in the squad will be involved."
