Play by play
- 92'
A decent game. Celtic deserved their point with a spirited display and a decent goal. They defended well, but were over-powered - just - by a United who were out of sorts. The visitors applied pressure but were lacking spark. A draw was a fair result.
- 92'
Berbatov's was the last touch of the game. The match finishes level at 1-1.
- 92'
Full time.
- 91'
The chance of the match goes begging - he was unmarked, chested the ball, turned and shot, but shot wide. That should have been the winner.
- 91'
Berbatov puts a clear chance wide!!
- 90'
United have deserved a draw. They have attacked and attacked, but despite the pressure they have somehow seemed a litte otu of sorts - perhaps the players are focussed on Saturday's match against Arsenal?
- 89'
Two minutes of added time to play.
- 88'
Berbatov fails to get himself in position and a great chance goes begging - and no-one is more upset about it than Ronaldo who shrugged off two rough tackles to feed the ball to Rooney who crossed in.
- 87'
Evra falls over rather than shooting - not ideal for a side looking for a late winner. Wrong studs?
- 86'
A training ground effort between Giggs and Ronaldo is smothered by the out-rushing Celtic defence and the freekick comes to nothing.
- 85'
Ronaldo is taken out by Brown and United have a freekick on the very corner of the penalty area.
- 85'
Five minutes left for United to steal all three points - and you would not bet against them.
- 84'
Ryan Giggs levels the score with a close range header. Ronaldo fired another long range shot, but so feirce was the pace of the ball that Boruc could only parry the shot, which allowed the ball to bounce into Giggs' path. 1-1.
- 84'
Goal for United!
- 83'
McManus - one of a seven man backline - gets his head in the way of a Ronaldo shot.
- 82'
Celtic Park in raptures; as the sense a famous win the crowd erupt into song
- 81'
Evra twists and turns on the left but can't escape Hartley's attentions.
- 80'
McDonald leaves the game to a standing ovation as he is subbed for Ben Hutchinson.
- 80'
Carrick tries his luck with drive from outside the box, but it is deflected out for corner - taken short and fed to Rooney who fires on goal but is denied by Boruc.
- 79'
O'Dea with a clearence from yet another Ronaldo header.
- 78'
And Brown is happy to rough it up a bit as well - he's lucky to avoid a booking for foul on Ronaldo.
- 77'
Scott Brown is having a good game marking Ronaldo - not many can say that. But Brown is not in awe and is sharp enough in tackle and pace to match the wizard tonight.
- 76'
A deep cross by Ronaldo is dealt with by Hinkel - Celtic have been equal to all United's best efforts so far.
- 75'
A change for Celtic. Off goes Maloney - who has had a great game - and on comes Darren O'Dea to bolster the defence.
- 74'
Time running out for United. They need to get something soon.
