Ryan Giggs used his head to claim a deserved 1-1 draw against Celtic in their clash at Parkhead. When Scott McDonald lit up the Parkhead sky with a fantastic goal after 13 minutes,lifting the ball over Ben Foster, stunned United. But the persistent attacking football from the Red Devils ensured a point to remain in control of Group E.

United made an explosive start with Ronaldo seeing a shot blocked by a mass of players after the ball broke kindly to him inside the area following a corner. The Portuguese winger then saw a 25-yard free-kick fizz just over Artur Boruc's crossbar. But the 13th-minute goal, coupled with some tireless defending, looked to have earned a victory for Celtic. Until Giggs struck six minutes from time, after Artur Boruc had failed to hold a Cristiano Ronaldo thunderbolt. A stooping header from Giggs rescued a hard-earned point in this Battle of Britain contest.

Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed that he want to progress in the next stage by winning the group. And he has every chance of doing it when United travel to Spain to face Villarreal in three weeks. BUt right now he is more focussed on Saturday's showdown with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
