no because celtic are a very good team and i believe it was a fair sided game

No. But I believe some teams may attempt a specific result in their last Group game (e.g. draw of loss) to gain a more favourable draw in Second Round (e.g. avoiding a particular opponent).

i know for a fact, glenavon football club in northern Ireland had qualified for Europe for the first time in ages. the uefa official who was carrying out routine checks before the start of the game discovered one set of goalposts was 2 inches below regulation height. the embarrassing fact meant since the posts were erected 2 years previously teams were playing into different sized nets.

From UEFA's Official Statement:\n\n#4.05. If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:\n\na) higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question\nb) superior goal difference obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question\nc) higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question\nd) superior goal difference from all group matches played\ne) higher number of goals scored\nf) higher number of coefficient points accumulated by the club in question, as well as its association, over the previous five seasons.\n\n\nCeltic currently is above ManUtd in 1st place because of (c) above; meaning, they scored more goals away from home (at Old Trafford)  compared to Man Utd (Utd failed to score away from hom at Celtic)\n\nAnd Yes, Celtic has qualified already, as there is no way they can be in third place , due to the facts already given above.\n\nHope it help in anyway..

Iain \n"Slim" Jim Baxter wore the No 6  shirt mate\nI know this for a fact because the Sunday Mail (Scottish Paper) gave away a free DVD of this game only 2 weeks ago and i just had a wee look for you.\nBaxter was immence in that game, playing keepie up and generally extracting the Urine from the English players (World Champs at the time)\nAlthough he did'nt sit on the ball as folklore would have you believe.\nScorers on the day were\nEngland 2 - Charlton 84mins Hurst 88mins\nSCOTLAND 3 - LAW 27mins... LENNOX 78mins... McCALLIOG 87mins\nAlso Baxter played for Sunderland at the time and not Rangers as many believe\n\nAWRABEST

I doubt it very much. It would be nice to see an English team walk away with it even though I'm a Man u supporter!

They qualify for 1992-93 UEFA Cup as League runners up the season before (they won the FA cup in 89/90 but as winner of that cup they played the UEFA Cup Winners Cup 91/92 and they won it) the next season they qualify for the UEFA Champions League as Premier league champions (In that time only the champion played that competition, later was open to runners up and finally to the first 4)\n\nNow if you mean if they already are qualify for a European cup the answer is YES (Because they won the carling cup or league cup) but which european cup nobody knows because to qualify for the UEFA Champions League they has to finish in position 1 or 2 for an automatic entree , if they finish 3 or 4 they has to play a qualifying round if they won it they play in the UEFA Champions League if they lose it they play in the UEFA Cup, If they finish 5 they play The UEFA Cup and if they finish 6 they also play the UEFA Cup but as carling cup or league cup winners

So many of the answers in this question thing stink of bullshit. Am I the only one who picks up on the 'Man Yoo' thing?\n\nOld know all: United have 8 English players in their match squad. Compare this with Chelski and Arsenal. Technically it's 7 because Richardson's an empty shirt on a par with Silvestre.\nL F: Fuck off and get a DNA test before acting like an Eichmann.\nSUPASPURS: Surely you would want them to get dumped out of the competition ASAP? It hurts a hell of a lot more.\nAnyone that thinks United will walk over Celtic, particularly those comparing them to Southend: Say what you will about the Scottish league, like how shit it is. But look at Celtic's home record in Europe, only Barcelona have beat them.

2 - 0 to Bolton  who beat Manchester United. The final was played on May 6th 1958 and the Manchester United team had been involved in a plane crash on 6th February where 8 of their players died and others injured. United played a patched up team of reserves and youths plus Stan Crowther and Ernie Taylor whom they were allowed to buy contravening the F A rule about buying players who had already taken part in the competition but allowed to do so due to circumstances. Nat Lofthouse, whom I have met, scored both goals but, in the second, charged Harry Gregg the United goalkeeper and knocked him out. As Nat said "I knew it was a foul and the goal should have been disallowed but I looked at the referee, turned away, raised my arms and charged back upfield thus distracting his attention from Harry Gregg lying unconscious in the United goal." There were no substitutes in those days and after 5 minutes treatment Gregg had to play on. Many Bolton fans, even to this day, despise United for the wave of sympathy for them that had swept the country, making most neutrals wanting them to win, and Bolton felt despised at preventing this and being blamed. Sadly it is a one-way hatred as most United fans see Bolton as just another team, their arch-rivals being Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.

No-one did. It was a 0-0 draw. Manchester United without Wayne Rooney is close to nothing I think.

None actually, more players moved later on to the premiership, the first player was a scottish player, dont recall his name.

Man U and Celtic here in Australia ( 0-0 29 min in ).  Which is great, we never get many Man U games here.!!\n How about you...what are you watching...??\n\nOh you are a lucky one...lol\nWe have Lyon and Real after this one.\nHope Arsenal win.\n\nThank you for the update..I'm so happy Arsenal won...but sad for my Man U boys...well played Celtic..oh well off now to watch Lyon.

I will look at it online but I can only suggest that if they were dejected it was nothing to do with losing the match and probably more to do with losing their win bonus. The Rangers and Celtic players of old would have gone into hiding for a week after a result like that.

I think you're referring to the draw for the Scottish FA cup. If so then the draw has already taken place - is Gretna v Dundee and Hibernian v Heart of Midlothian on the 1st and 2nd of April. Have a look at the link below for more details.
