"Two British giants roll back the years today in the name of charity as the great and good of the past return to the pitch. Former Man Utd captain Bryan Robson is in the dugout today as he takes a team of former stars to Glasgow looking for revenge after defeat in a penalty shootout 12 months ago. Last September, Wayne Rooney's opening goal was cancelled out by Gary Hooper and the Bhoys went on to triumph on spot-kicks."
"Brian McClair has named a strong squad for his return fixture, which includes the likes of Joe Hart, Stiliyan Petrov, Georgios Samaras and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink. United are also not messing around with this squad, with the likes of Nani, Dimitar Berbatov, Karel Poborsky and Michael Carrick all lining up in red today.
