Celtic midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura has recovered from a knee injury ahead of their SPL title clash with Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Sunday.

The Japan international hobbled off against St Johnstone in their Tennent's Scottish Cup semi-final clash last week, but is ready to help the Hoops fight for the three points needed to retain the title.

Defender Lee Naylor, who injured an ankle against the Saints, is a doubt.

Midfielder Jiri Jarosik returns after an ankle injury while stopper Stephen McManus serves the last of his three-match SPL suspension.

Provisional squad: Boruc, Caldwell, Pressley, Naylor, O'Dea, Nakamura, Gravesen, Lennon, Hartley, McGeady, Riordan, Miller, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Jarosik, Brown, Beattie, Perrier Doumbe, Bjarnason.
