Brown is available for the Motherwell game despite his Old Firm injury

Celtic say midfielder Scott Brown is fit for Sunday's trip to face Motherwell despite suffering a head injury in last week's Old Firm derby.

The 23-year-old was substituted in the goalless draw after a collision with Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor.

"Scott was fine after the game. He got a bang on the head and was a little bit dizzy. But he will be okay," first-team coach Neil Lennon told Celtic TV.

Brown joined Celtic from SPL rivals Hibs for �4.4m in May 2007.

Meanwhile, Brown's midfield team-mate Barry Robson could be sidelined for a spell after pulling out of the Old Firm game with a groin injury.

Lennon said: "Barry was due to start against Rangers because his record against them is pretty good.

"But the day before the game his right groin went."
