Must do better against Killie
We all know the feeling of losing against Kilmarnock. No need for a repeat in the league Scott Brown is eligible for tomorrow's cup game against Killie despite his league suspension, and Marc-Antoine Fortune returns after a dead leg. Jos Hooiveld and Glenn Loovens have trained after recovering from hamstring injuries but Thomas Rogne (hamstring), Diomansy Kamara (hamstring), Niall McGinn (thigh) and Paddy McCourt (knee) are all out, while Shaun Maloney will join full training next week following his return from tendinitis. Hoops boss Tony Mowbray is hoping lightning does not strike twice against Killie. The Hoops suffered arguably their biggest blow of the season last month in Ayrshire when they lost 1-0 in the league in what was Robbie Keane's debut following his move on loan from Spurs. The unexpected loss did not help the title challenge. Mowbray is looking for better luck in the cup. He said: "The defeat against Kilmarnock was a day when we didn't take our opportunities and paid for it. If those opportunities come along this weekend hopefully we will take some of them and have a good day. If we do then great. We will be one step closer to a cup final but Kilmarnock are a decent side and will make life very difficult for us." Killie have Craig Bryson and Simon Ford back in the squad which will welcome Celtic to Rugby Park. Bryson has recovered from a hamstring problem and Ford has shaken off a knee injury. But striker Kevin Kyle has failed to recover from a groin injury while Manuel Pascali is suspended. The Ayrshire side are further weakened with the absence of on-loan striker Chris Maguire who is cup-tied.
