I am trying to renormalise the following loop diagram in the Standard Model:

Using the Feynman rules, we can write the amplitude as follows:
$$ \Gamma_f \sim - tr \int \frac{i}{\displaystyle{\not}\ell -m_f}
\frac{i^2}{(\displaystyle{\not}\ell+ \displaystyle{\not}k -m_f)^2}
\frac{d^4 \ell}{(2 \pi)^4} $$
where ##k## and ##\ell## are external Higgs and loop momenta, and ##m_f## being the fermion mass. I have ignored the coefficients coming from vertex factors.
After evaluating the loop integral functions using dimensional regularisation, I ended up with the following expression:
$$ \Gamma_f \sim \frac{m_f}{4 \pi^2}
\left( 3\Delta -6\ln \frac{m_f}{\mu} +4
-6 \sqrt{1-4x} \ \ln \frac{1 +\sqrt{1-4x}}{2\sqrt{x}} \right)$$
The loop integral is clearly divergent due to ##\Delta \equiv \ln \pi - \gamma_E + 2/\epsilon## term, when ##\epsilon = 4 -d \to 0##.
Here, ##x \equiv (m_f/k)^2##, ##d## is dimension, ##\mu## regularisation scale, and ##\gamma_E## being Euler-Mascheroni constant.
How should I introduce the counter-terms to make the expression for the amplitude finite?

Well, I'm simulating a neutron-proton scattering phase shift. The equation that I solve numerically is the Phase function method and is $$ \frac{d}{dr}[\delta_{i+1}] = \frac{2\mu}{\hbar^2}\frac{V(r)}{k^2}\sin(kr + \delta_i)$$ ##\delta_i## is the phase shift for triplet and singlet state, ##\mu## is the reduced mass for neutron-proton, ##k=\sqrt{2\mu E_{cm}/\hbar^2}## is the wave number and ##V(r)## is the potential of interaction like Yukawa, Wood-Saxon, Square well potential, etc. I first...
