Celtic manager Neil Lennon has recalled experienced captain Scott Brown for tonight's crucial Champions League tie against Benfica.

Lennon has chosen to start both Gary Hooper and Georgios Samaras in attack in the knowledge that a score draw will secure the Glasgow giants a place in the last 16.

Joe Ledley also returns for the Hoops after missing last weekend's win over Aberdeen.

Benfica have made three changes in an effort to keep their qualification hopes alive.

Oscar Cardozo is back in attack after scoring a brace from the bench in against Spartak Moscow, while captain Luisao is able to return in central defence.

Benfica: Artur Moraes, Almeida, Luisao, Garay, Melgarejo, John, Matic, Lima, Perez, Cardozo, Salvio

Celtic: Forster, Lustig, Wilson, Ambrose, Matthews, Brown, Ledley, Wanyama, Mulgrew, Samaras, Hooper
