Scott Brown is unavailable for Celtic's trip to Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership on Friday night.

The Hoops skipper will have to sit out the game at Pittodrie, as he serves the second game of his two-match suspension.

Moussa Dembele remains an absentee with a hamstring injury that could ruin his chances of playing in this month's Scottish Cup final against the same opposition.

However, defender Mikael Lustig returns to the squad after being rested for last weekend's clash against St Johnstone.

Meanwhile, hosts Aberdeen are waiting on the results of a scan regarding Peter Pawlett's Achilles injury, while Ryan Jack is still sidelined with a groin tear and could possibly miss the final at Hampden on May 27.
