Celtic midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura is keen to take the pitch against Aberdeen this Saturday despite hurting his groin at training. The Japanese star believes he will be right for the Hoops' clash at Pittodrie.

"Obviously we have a very important game coming up against Aberdeen so I hope I'll be okay to play," he said.

"We know that they are a difficult opponent but it's a game we really need to win.

"I've been in some discomfort and my right abductor is pretty sore. We'll see how it goes this week."
