Celtic v Manchester United, Champion's League Preview

What a game we could have tonight, English and European Champion's Manchester United are taking on Scottish Champion's Celtic for the second time in a matter of weeks. The previous match was at Old Trafford and United won 3-0 with a few dubious goals.

Both Celtic and Manchester United are without a few players- Celtic are without Samaras, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Killen, Loovens and Crosas. Man United are without Van Der Sar, Brown, Neville and Hargreaves.

It is expected that Ben Foster will replace Edwin Van Der Sar in goal but Tomasz Kuszczak could start. Rafael Da Silva will replace Wes Brown who is injured and Gary Neville isn't in the squad.

If and I say If, Manchester United win and Aalborg don't beat Villarreal then it would send us into the last 16 with two games left but we still want to finish at the top of the table.

Squads:
Celtic: Boruc, Hinkel, Naylor, Caldwell, McManus, Wilson, Maloney, McGeady, Scott Brown, Hartley, Robson, Donati, McDonald, McCourt, Sheridan, Mark Brown, Nakamura, O'Dea, Caddis.
Man Utd: Kuszczak, Foster, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, O'Shea, Rafael, Evans, Possebon, Anderson, Fletcher, Nani, Ronaldo, Gibson, Giggs, Carrick, Park, Tevez, Berbatov, Rooney.

It is going to be an extremely tough match tonight but we are European Champions and tonight we have to show the world exactly why we are Champions and arguably the best team in the world.

Recently we have been playing really well but we take our foot off and let the opposition back into the game, we cannot do that tonight!
