United are not as fluent as the first half but still look just as dangerous. Nani crosses in a good ball to the far post but neither Rooney nor Ronaldo can reach it.

Rooney and Ronaldo got in each other's way from a Nani cross. I suspect the Caftards will say Rooney and Ronaldo hate each other now.
Great link up play between Tevez and Rooney almost came off. Another corner, wasted but Nani wins another corner. Played short and after a penalty appeal there is yet another corner which leads to another cracking shot by Rooney.
game seems a bit flat at the minute, and sporadic breaks down the flank seem to be the main source of action.
United win yet another corner that is again cleared for another corner.
Vidic hasn't loked like getting on the end of any of these corners which is not good considering the amount we've had and his obvious ability when it comes to attacking corners.

Tevez plays a ball to Rooney in the box, Rooney does well it get a pass back towards Tevez but it is knocked out for a corner, Nani's delivery is poor but he wins another corner.
Nani has been very good tonight but his corners aren't as good.
United win a third corner after some short passes, it is hit long to O'Shea who heads it to Rooney, Rooney dtrikes a fearce shot which Boruc tips over.

Rooney cleverley makes space for a shot and unleashes a thunderbolt that is palmed away for yet another corner.
Hartley gets a yellow card, he fouls Nani and then kicks the ball at him while he is on the ground, pathetic behaviour.
Corner again wasted, my main concern has been our inability to get anything from these corners. Without seeing the stats its got to be in double figures now.
First yellow card of the night goes to Paul Hartley. Unsportsmanlike behaviour
The corners have been wasted so frequently it is worrying. Although we did score our first goal from a corner.
Anderson is a running machine, a lot of effort put in tonight. Celtic are trying to break us down but to no avail, they are restricted to hopeful balls into the box
Some decent possesion from Celtic which results in another cross taken by VDS
MANCHESTER UNITED 3 - 0 CELTIC
GOALSCORER: Wayne Rooney
He's on fire! Tevez plays a pass to Wayne Rooney on the edge of the box, there are players around him but he digs out a wonderful placed shot into the corner of Boruc's goal. Great strike

Goal to United
Rooney scores a goal, with an awesome placed finish. Great break from United.
Have we ever seen such a run of form from our Wayne? he's looked dangerous all night and confidence is clearly sky high.
Nani wants to get in on the action and has a left footed crack at goal, it is wide of the post.
12 minutes remain, will we see 4 goals again this evening?
Are you Rangers in disguise
Rooney's "offside goal" should have stood!
True, first legitimate goal given I mean.
Ronaldo looks hurt and quite bad by the looks of it.
He's back on his feet mind, maybe we should take him off as a precaution.

Ronaldo sticks his leg out reaching for the ball and goes down it pain. Though now he is back up, he glances over at the bench, is this the end of his night?
Another excellent bit of defending from Evans there.
tevez breaks down the right and gets a good shot in that is well saved by Boruc

Tevez! You idiot, should have passed to Ronaldo when he was free in the box.
Great ball by Rooney, the party tricks are coming out.

Rooney plays a stunning pass to Carlos Tevez who advances into the box, he could play in Ronaldo who is now running full pelt, but he tries a shot from a poor angle. He seems like he wants to make an impression.
Some more decent pressure from celtic
Now Ronaldo leaves the pitch to be replaced by Park Ji Sung

Ronaldo off, Park on.
Ronaldo seems sad.

That was Ronaldo's last bit of action and this is the end of his night, due to injury I don't know but Park replaces him
Cristiano Ronaldo OFF
Ji Sung Park ON

Comentators make a big deal of Ronaldo's body language, ffs leave it out will you.
Loovens is booked for taking out Carlos Tevez.
Rough challenge by Loovens on Tevez there. Definitely didn't go for the ball.
United in cruise control now. Rooney knocks a cross into the box which is headed clear.
Rooney now digs a good cross from the right which is again cleared by the Celtic defense.
Classy defending by Evans, been really impressed by him tonight.
Jonny Evans sticks a leg out behind him and nicks the ball brilliantly from a Sheridan.
4 minutes left, not including stoppage time
nani has been far less productive in this half, we've seen goals but i think some of our better football was played in the 1st 45.
Barring about four or five minutes we have dominated this second half.
