Patrick Vieira is expected to play a role in Arsenal's friendly with Celtic tomorrow after regaining full fitness following a knee operation.

The French international picked up the injury at the end of last season and required surgery after aggravating the problem at a summer concert.

Arsenal play both Celtic and Rangers (Tuesday, 5th) as preparation for their Community Shield clash with Manchester United next weekend.

Thierry Henry, Robert Pires and Sylvain Wiltord are unlikely to play against the Glasgow teams as they continue to rest after playing in the Confederations Cup.
