 Pre Match Press Conference Highlights

John O'Shea
Celtic will have to come out and try to win the game and that could be to our benefit because of the way we can hit teams on the counter-attack,” the Irishman told MUTV.

“They may have a couple of strikers back fit meaning they'll have a bigger physical presence up front. So we'll have to make sure we deal with that.”
