Celtic boss Tony Mowbray must do without the services of Aiden McGeady when his side face Rapid Vienna in the Europa League at Celtic Park.

The Glasgow-outfit, who lost their opening group tie against Hapoel Tel-Aviv, face the Austrian side for the first time since their controversial Cup Winners’ Cup game in 1984, which was replayed after a Rapid player falsely claimed he had been bit by a bottle thrown by a supporter.

McGeady will not be risked ahead of the Old Firm derby against Rangers on Sunday and Mowbray will choose between the in-form Paddy McCourt, Niall McGinn or Barry Robson to fill the midfield berth at Parkhead.

Mowbray said: “Let's see how Aiden is. But we won't risk him tomorrow if there is any doubt.

“Rapid are a very good counter-attacking side and are not too unlike Dinamo Moscow.

“They can be very dangerous. I watched their game at Villa Park again last week and while Villa won the game 2-1, Rapid created so many chances late on. They could have scored three or four.”
