I honestly have no idea where to start with this one in terms of what team is best put out or what team will be put out. The only issue in the back 4 will no doubt be who plays at left-back. Wilson actually played reasonmably well by his standards on Sunday but I’d still go with Naylor in the hope that he can turn in an unusually solid performance like he has done in the past in Europe i.e. Milan at home. Caldwell, McManus and Hinkel will no doubt make up the rest.

Sadly in midfield and forward we are missing Crosas and Samaras and whether or not Veengoor get’s rushed back I don’t know. I’d certainly start with McGeady on the right of midfield and possibly Robson on the left. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Donati make a shock appearance much like Jarosik did the last time Man Who.

Whoever plays, their aim should be a simple one – get in about their players from the first minute much like Everton did in the 2nd half against them last week. Don’t allow them time on the ball and let the likes of Ronaldo know he is in for a tough time. We have no chance of matching them skill wise. It will certainly take a mammoth performance from everyone concerned and a below par one from Man Who if we are to take something from the game, but stranger things have happened so you never know.

I would litter the midfield with workers and even consider playing Mcgaedy up front with Macdonald.

Boruc
Hinkel
Wilson
Caldwell
McManus
Robson
Brown
Hartley
Maloney
McGaedy
Macdonald

and united will line up

Foster
Neville Ferdinand Vidic Evra
Ronaldo Carrick Fletcher Nani
Rooney Berbatov

2-0 Man Utd

Glasnost in unusually upbeat shocker!!!

so are you charging Man Utd 5% extra for their tickets then?

Who knows, who cares.

Not upbeat in the slightest! We can all live in hope though that we can cause a major upset. Without hope after all, what have we?

typical rip off old firm

I would be very happy with a 5-0 win for ManU.
Any win will do though. They're part of my bankers bet.

It would be niuce to see Boruc cock up a few like he did in the game against the h uns as well.

2-0 for Man U, Porkheid half empty with 10 minutes to go

Very long shot ,i know , but i've put a tenner on Celtic to win 1-0 & Naka to score . 66/1.
Even though it's Man Utd (& i'm gonna get shot down in flames) i would bet Celtic against anyone at Parkhead , partiularly if we have a point to prove.

I honestly see use getting something here, providing we can keep it tight at the back. Our back must not make any mistakes, which for us on a european night, would be extremely rare.
United's back four can definately be exposed, they are not at their strongest, and if Hull can score 3 against them, surely we can manage one.
McDonald up top on his own flanked by maloney and mcgeady, nakamura on the bench, if loovens had been fit i reckon caldwell would have played holding midfield but hartely will probably sit there now.
I think we need a Barry Robson/Christian Daillyesque tackle very early on, just to show them were up for it. It would definitely life the ground and create an unforgettable atmosphere.
Can't wait to be standing there when the champions league music comes on, its an extremely special moment



Now get into these English b*****ds!!!

3-0 man utd

heard some stuff about Man U playing a weakened side due to the arsenal game at the weekend.

wonder if fergies at the mind games or if he actually will leave some players out.

...while the non-English b*****ds are under orders from the Scottish b*****d to tear you a new arsehole

after watching the first leg you cant deny the whole smelltic team were outclassed.

i think the second leg will be much the same but with a scoreline of 2-1 man u.

Yeah hes supposed to be starting Ben Foster in Goals and Rafael at right back, maybe he might rest Rooney and start with Tevez upfront with Berbatov and give rooney the last 30 mins

I think you are confusing Celtic Park with Ibrox

Best of luck to Celtic tonight

I can see a wee shock on the cards,celtic to put a rocket up man u arse and sneak
a 2 1 win.

Certainly with 10 minutes to go the Celtic fans were piling out of the reserve game today.


Personally I think Man Utd will win by 2 goals, winning 3-1.


Even without a few players, they still have a superb side.

Ben Foster is a good goalie in his own right, Evans is a good player and already an International. Just have to wait and see how this Rafael boy plays right enough.

Who?

Really does my nut in when fans can't even spell the names of their own players. Get it with Rangers as well.

Kevin Thomson gets called Thompson.
DaMarcus Beasley gets called MarcusDa Beasley/Da Beasley
Chris Boyd
Brahim Hendami

It's not hard to learn the names of the players you watch every week now, is it?

4-1 Man U.

Fantastic finish,must be the blue jerseys

Really well taken goal from McDonald, this could turn into a corker of a game.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!! Come on Celtic!

whoops blues..

should have red above. Fergies taking the pwish.

Finally we have scored a goal in Europe lol

Get Giggs off to f**k. Came on against Hull and couldn't get into the pace of the game - he's just picked up where he left off!

Scott Brown looks immense.

did some arsehole run onto the park??

Not that I seen although someone did mention it on the site Im on which is streaming Sky.

Yeah, I saw Scott Brown mouthing 'who's marking the cunt in the brown jacket?!'

Sky's text of the game says it, but i must have missed it when i went into the other room for a min.

Radio Scotland mentioned it. Dont think he actually did anything.

Nonsense. No positional sense whatsoever. Man Utd are getting through the midfield easily and are just getting overwhelmed by shear numbers in the final third.

Celtic riding their luck big time but all credit to them - this is exactly what they were playing for.

Arsehole ran on the pitch, banned for life he doesn't realise how lucky he is to be in paradise the night.
