Despite his media appearance at Hampden yesterday Scott Brown is an injury doubt for the Betfred Cup semi-final against Hibs.
The midfielder was substituted with 20 minutes left of the midweek win over St Mirren but was fit enough to take part in training the morning after.
Brown shrugged off any suggestion that he might be struggling to make it for tomorrow’s match but his manager had a different message when he faced the media today.

Olivier Ntcham replaced Brown against St Mirren and would seem to be the automatic partner for Callum McGregor tomorrow if Brown fails to prove his fitness.
Ryan Christie could drop back with Tom Rogic coming into the side with Lennon unlikely to take any risk on his captain.
With a Europa League tie with Lazio coming up next Thursday no risks will be taken on Brown who has started all 11 of Celtic’s SPFL Premiership matches this season.
