Gordon Strachan's midfield options for Wednesday's Old Firm match at Parkhead have been limited by a hamstring injury sustained by Jiri Jarosik which will keep the Czech player out for about a fortnight.
With Aiden McGeady suspended and Shunsuke Nakamura injured, Jarosik would have started against Rangers but the Celtic manager may now have to field Derek Riordan on the left of his midfield unless, improbably, a deal to sign Barry Robson or James McFadden is completed over the next 48 hours.Robson would cost £1.25m from Dundee United and McFadden, who is also a target for Birmingham City, is valued in excess of £3m by Everton, who are unwilling to let the Scotland international join his boyhood heroes on loan. The Scottish champions have also been offered Barcelona's Santiago Ezquerro but have denied reports that Nakamura will move to Yokohama Marinos in his native Japan.
Celtic hold a two-point advantage over their oldest rivals at the top of the Premier League but Rangers have the same number of games in hand, which Strachan has said makes his team the underdogs to clinch a third successive title. The manager said he "didn't enjoy" Celtic's 3-0 victory over struggling Gretna on Saturday, in which Scott McDonald, Scott Brown and McGeady supplied the goals, and they now face a Rangers side who have won the past three Glasgow derbies. (personally i'd settle for a draw, considering the way we're playing at the moment and the players we have at our disposal a draw would do for me)

Was this in the Guardian mate? Strange how nowhere else has picked up on this story so far (BBC, Sky, Daily Rectum etc).
Hopefully this is not true. Although not JJs biggest fan think he would be a better option than Deek after Saturdays showing.
