Why have Celtic qualified with +1 goal difference when Man U have +3 and on the same points ?

the head to head results is used as the first tie-breaker at the UEFA Champions' League. as both Manchester United & Glasgow Celtic are tied with 3 goals each after both meetings, Glasgow Celtic has the better head to head record coz they scored 2 of the goals at Old Trafford, Manchester on matchday 1. \n\nany goals scored at away ground is consider as double, so Glasgow Celtic is above Manchester United & they have secured a place in the knock-out stage regardless of what happened when Manchester United host SL Benfica on matchday 6 in December 2006.

yes and no....its an advantage in extra time to score the first goal but the party aint over....its a 30 minute deal where a tie can come....if this happens they would go to penalty kicks....5 each one.....the one with more penalties favoured wins......

The 4 teams in each group play each other.  The two teams with the most points (win 3 pts, undecided 1 pt) advance to the next round.  If 2 teams have the same number of points, they look at their goal difference (goals made vs. goals against).  If that is also the same, they look at the result of the game played between the 2 teams.  If they played to an "undecided", then they raffle off the next round.  Sounds unfair, but what else is there - a "drink-off"??  THAT would be cool, though....

Very simply--there has to be two defenders between you and the goal unless you are behind the ball. The timing is when the ball is played by one of your team mates.

It goes down to goal difference. This is calculated by; number of goals for minus goals against. Team with the higher goal difference goes through.

They did not win the league.  Lost on goal difference, but they qualified for Europe next season.  Not bad for a team that were heading for oblivion 2 years ago - Proud\n\nThey are losing their manager to my team as from tonight - Gutted.\n\nHope they get the Shelbourne manager next.\n\nHis new team Dunfermline Athletic won 2-1 yesterday.

If points are equal then first see the goal difference i.e. goals scored less goals conceded. If that is equal as well then see number of wins. If that is equal see head to head. But if the match between those two teams was say a 1-1 draw then the away team wins ( due to away goal rule )

If you had asked me that question at half-time, I would have said No.    Celtic's passing in the first half was absolutely apalling.  Manchester United looked the more accomplished team first half although they didn't exactly threaten the Celtic goal.  I got the feeling that they were really looking for a no-scoring draw.  Celtic continually gave the ball away and you don't deserve to win a game if you do that and don't even work the opposition's goalkeeper.  However, Gordon Strachan made a few tactical changes at half time and Celtic were a lot better in the second half.  I still think that Manchester United were the more dangerous team, although Celtic certainly defended well.  Baldé certainly didn't look out of touch considering his lack of match practice this season.  In the end Celtic deserved their victory because they managed to nullify the likes of Giggs, Scholes, Saha and Rooney.  And of course, they scored a great goal by Nakamura and Manchester United missed their best opportunity.  To score one more than the opposition is all that is required in the long run.  Good luck to Celtic in the last 16.

I agree with him. When your playing a sport that teams only score 1 or even no goals, you pretty much have it won considering the fact that its like 90 something percent that a team that goals first will win or tie. Although im not saying its not possible because its happened.

Awww come on now - play nice! Just cos we're playing brilliant in Europe at the moment (not at home unfortunately!!!!) doesn't mean we should rub their faces in it - aye ok do!!!!! they deserve it! Falkirk were magic and deserved their win - the Gers are grateful to the Bairns! Well Done to them.

Now that the rule was clarified after last season teams now know that finishing fourth does not mean a Champions league place. It will seem fair or unfair dependant on who you support.

Celtic won that match 3-1 with goals from McAdam (2) and McCluskey. Parlane scored for Rangers. I don't know whether it was played a 1 o'clock or not. I'll investigate that

it happens. many teams already know there's no chance at all for them to qualify so when they're playing against one that has a chance and needs few points to, they take a bribe to lose the game for that team!
