Celtic midfielder Kris Commons reveals that he hopes his side draw Manchester United in the second round of the Champions League.

Celtic midfielder Kris Commons has revealed that it would be a "dream" to play at Old Trafford again.

The 29-year-old is a boyhood United fan and he has previously played at Old Trafford during his time in England. While he acknowledges that United would pose a tough challenge, he has admitted that he would savour a chance to play against Sir Alex Ferguson's side.

Commons said: "There are a few really tough sides but being a boy from down south, I would like to play Man United.

"I've played them before a couple of times but I was a Man United fan as a kid so for me, to get the chance to play against that club and play at that stadium again would be a dream come true again."

Commons scored Celtic's winning goal from the penalty spot as they beat Spartak Moscow 2-1 to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages.
