CELTIC captain Scott Brown will reportedly be fit to face Barcelona on Tuesday evening in the Hoops' opening Champions League group stage game. 

The midfielder was forced to be replaced during Saturday's 5-1 win over Rangers with a knock, prompting fears he could miss out on the Nou Camp clash.

However, BBC Scotland reported on Monday morning that Brown travelled to Spain with the squad and has been declared fit to play.

Brendan Rodgers will be without injured top scorer Leigh Griffiths, who continues to struggle with the hamstring problem that kept him out of the Old Firm.
