Celtic midfielder Neil Lennon will wear the captain's armband for Northern Ireland tomorrow in the absence of the injured Steve Lomas and Gerry Taggart.
Lennon has returned to fitness after knee problems last season, featuring in both of Celtic's opening games, and is the obvious choice to lead the North in tomorrow's friendly against Cyprus.
Manager Sammy McIlroy's preparations have been hampered by a number of withdrawals. Apart from Lomas and Taggart, goalkeeper Roy Carroll, Phil Mulryne, Paul McVeigh and Steve Elliott have all been ruled out.
