S. McDonald put Celtic in front after only 13 minutes; the home fans went completely bozo. The score remained the same at half time and the fear of loosing at Celtic Park again as well as tearing their unbeaten run of 16 matches in the Champions League seized the European titleholders.

Ferguson, who had planned to rest some big players for this weekend’s clash against the Gunners, was then forced to bring on substitute Berbatov for Nani, as well as Patrice Evra and Carlos Tevez to try to turn around the embarrassing situation.

But even with all the possible three substitutions, finding a way to get back into the game was difficult.

As time passed by flying, Man United’s desire to leave Parkhead with their heads high grew intensively.

The Red Champions were 6 minutes away from another defeat at Celtic Park when the equalizer came in.

Boruc saved Ronaldo’s shot, but could not punch the ball clear and Ryan Giggs was there to head it home.

Manchester United surely did not win the match, but they won at least a point, which leaves them with 8 points in the table. They still top Group E after Villareal also drew 2-2 with Aalborg in the other game.

Qualification into the last 16 is almost completely assured. However, finishing second of the table is something Ferguson wants to avoid.

Arsenal also drew goalless at the Emirates in one of the night’s ties. They will host Manchester United at the same venue in Saturday’s early kick off.

…The day will certainly be for the one who wants it most.
