Aiden McGeady is fit and available for Celtic's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Dundee United on Saturday, despite being linked with a move away from Glasgow after a falling out with manager Gordon Strachan.

The Republic of Ireland star returned to training this week after being suspended for a fortnight and fined two weeks' wages following a dressing-room bust-up with Strachan after last month's 1-1 draw with Hearts.

Strachan, however, insisted today that the winger was available to him but was in no mood to discuss the situation.

"Everybody who is fit is available," he said when asked who he had at his disposal. "You don't lose any base fitness over two weeks so everybody who is in the squad has a chance of being involved."

Midfielder Barry Robson is hoping McGeady remains at Parkhead to help the Hoops to their fourth SPL title in a row.

The former Dundee United player said: "It's good to have the wee man back.

"I hope he does (hang around); he is a good player, but you better ask the manager, it has nothing to do with me.

"But he's a superb talent and I'm sure he will contribute towards the end of the season."
