DANNY FOX is in line to be handed a double mission in Moscow on Wednesday.

DANNY FOX is in line to be handed a double mission in Moscow on Wednesday.

The £1.5million signing from Coventry will be asked to help spike the guns of the Russians.

He will also be challenged to provide as much ammunition as he can find for his team-mates as they go in search of the goals they need to reach the fourth and final qualifying round for the Champions League.

Lee Naylor is struggling with the leg injury he sustained in the dying minutes of last week's 1-0 defeat to the Russians at Celtic Park.

He has been receiving treatment since then and took no part in Saturday's friendly against Sunderland, which Steve Bruce's men won 2-1.

Tony Mowbray has decided to take Naylor with the squad which flew out to Russia earlier today.

But Fox - who has been boosted by the news the two-game SPL suspension he should have served for being sent off in his final game for Coventry has been cancelled due to an administrative mix up in his registration - slotted into the position with ease at the weekend.

Now he looks like getting the chance to start his first competitive game for The Hoops in the Stadium Arena Khimki.

Celtic manager Mowbray wants to send out as attack-minded a side as he can, and Fox's delivery from wide and from set-pieces could play an important role.

Scott Brown was also on the aircraft which flew to Moscow, and the manager was relieved the midfielder - who on Saturday had his first action since undergoing surgery on an ankle injury in May - had suffered no reaction to his hour on the field.

A decision on Brown's participation from the start has still to be made.

However, linking him with Landry N'Guemo - who sat out Saturday's match to ensure he made a full recovery from the slight knock he took in the game against Dinamo - for the first time is something to which the manager is giving serious consideration.

The Celtic players were interested to hear Dinamo have injury problems of their own following yesterday's 2-0 win over FC Khimki.

Luis Aguiar, a recent signing from Portuguese club Braga, surprisingly, has not been registered for this round of qualifying.

He scored on his debut for the club with Alexander Kerzhakov grabbing the second.

Captain Dmitri Khokhlov was back at the heart of the midfield following suspension from last week's tie at Celtic Park, and manager Andrey Kobelev will include him in his line up.

However, the Dinamo boss is concerned Brazilian defender Leandro Fernandez could be ruled out of the tie.

He had to be taken off after 67 minutes at the weekend and will undergo tests to determine the extent of his injury.

Kobelev said: "We'll discover how bad it is when we get the results back today or tomorrow."

He added that he was relieved to get the win which keeps them in fourth spot in the table as he was concerned his players had not recovered from the game in Glasgow.

Kobelev said: "The game showed the boys are physically not recovered from Glasgow."
