Celtic manager Gordon Strachan is relishing another clash with Manchester United in the Champions League.
But he admits the Old Trafford side will be even tougher to overcome than they were when the two clubs met in the same tournament two years ago.
Back then, the honours were shared with each side claiming a home win.
Strachan said: "So it's Man
United? Here we go again!
"Oh well, if you're going to play in the Champions League you might as well come up against the Champions League champions. It doesn't get any easier does it?
"You have to be honest about it and say this is an even stronger Manchester United than the Manchester United we faced two years ago.
"This time they are champions of Europe and champions of England. They are a better team now and that will make our job even harder."
Celtic will also face Spanish side Villarreal and Danish champions Aalborg, who defeated Rangers' conquerors FBK Kaunas to book their place in the group stages.
