Celtic v Hamilton Scottish Premier League Match on March 5



Venue: Celtic Park
Date: Saturday 5 March
Kick-off: 1500 GMT
Coverage: BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Sport website

Fraser Forster and Joe Ledley return from suspension for Celtic's home match against Hamilton in the SPL. Forster will replace Polish goalkeeper Lukasz Zaluska, who played in the midweek win over Rangers. Accies defender Martin Canning, who has a stomach injury that requires an injection, is suspended. Forward Marco Paixao is still out with a knee complaint, while midfielder Alex Neil and defender James Gibson also remain on the sidelines through injury.
Celtic coach Alan Thompson: "We want to get back to winning ways after a defeat in the league last Sunday to Motherwell.
"We'll be going all guns blazing in a good manner to try and get three points.
"After a lot of energy expended and a big win against Rangers in midweek we have to approach the game in the right manner.
"We're in three domestic trophies, but first and foremost we'll be concentrating on getting three points against Hamilton."
Motherwell manager Stuart McCall: "It's not a game we are expected to win - it's top versus bottom.
"But the one thing I can guarantee is that we will take the ball and try to pass it.
"You have to be brave and I mean taking the ball in all areas of the park and not worrying if you make a mistake.
"But we won't get too many chance so if we get them we have to take them.
