Commons: 'I want Man United tie'

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.
