Man Utd To Face Celtic

August 27, 2006 By red devil

Champions League Draw: Manchester United will meet Celtic in Group F with Benfica and FC Copenhagen.

Manchester United chief executive David Gill said he is relishing the clash with Scottish champions Celtic.

“It’s a great draw. It’s great for the fans and great for the manager Sir Alex Ferguson. We have not played against Celtic in a competitive fixture – the last time the two sides met was back in May when we played in Roy Keane‘s testimonial. The atmosphere that night was fantastic, now we’ve got a competitive fixture I’m sure it will go up many, many decibels.”

But Celtic boss Gordon Strachan said that he would rather have faced a club like Real Madrid.

He told BBC Scotland:

“I’ve been to United so many times as a player and a manager, and even with Celtic. I would have liked Real Madrid. Something different.”
