Wednesday night saw the return fixture of Manchester United and Celtic in this years Champions League.Manchester United denied Celtic yet another glorious European night in Glasgow as Ryan Giggs' late equaliser cancelled out Scott McDonald's deftest of first half lobs.
An engrossing and full-bloodied Battle of Britain saw United boss possession from the first minute to the last but a combination of poor finishing, excellent goalkeeping and an infectious Celtic spirit saw Gordon Strachan's side go to within seven minutes of claiming another scalp.
United's second half onslaught was incessant and they were eventually rewarded late on when Artur Boruc, otherwise excellent, could only parry Cristiano Ronaldo's swerving drive from range into the path of Giggs, who nodded home from a couple of
yards.
No-one will need to have a second viewing at Ronaldo's next contribution though as his wickedly swerving shot had Boruc flapping.
The Celtic keeper meekly pushed it into the air, offering Giggs the easiest of close-range tap-ins, much to Ferguson's relief.
