Celtic are in good shape for Saturday's Tennent's Scottish Cup final against Dunfermline and have no fresh injuries.

Defenders Bobo Balde (broken leg) and Mark Wilson (knee) remain out of action but manager Gordon Strachan should have an otherwise fully fit squad.

If selected, centre-back Steven Pressley will be looking to win the cup with a third team, having been a winner with Rangers and Hearts previously.

Captain Neil Lennon will make his final appearance for Celtic.

Dunfermline manager Stephen Kenny will be without several key players for the clash.

Jim O'Brien - on loan from the Scottish champions - has been barred from playing against his parent club, while Tam McManus and Stephen Glass are both cup-tied.

Added to the list of unavailable players is Greg Ross, who is set to undergo a knee operation. Ross has told Kenny he will be unable to play through the pain barrier despite earlier hopes of taking part in the final.

Gary Mason also misses out through suspension but goalkeeper Dorus De Vries looks set to return from a knee injury and Adam Hammill is back in contention after spending last week on international duty with the England-19 team.

Teams:

Celtic (from): Boruc, Perrier-Doumbe, Naylor, Pressley, McManus, Kennedy, Nakamura, Lennon, Caldwell, Hartley, Riordan, McGeady, Miller, Beattie, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Brown, Gravesen, O'Dea, Bjarnason, Jarosik, Sno, Zurawski.

Dunfermline (from): McKenzie, Shields, Muirhead, Woods, Bamba, Wilson, Young, McCunnie, Simmons, Crawford, Daquin, Hamilton, Burchill, De Vries, McGuire, Hammill, S Morrison, O Morrison.
