Celtic Vs Arsenal Very tough draw for the gunners, Celtic looked very good in pre season vs Spurs and in the champions league. The plus point from the gunners in that the 2nd leg is at home. Sould be a good game, Loads of history and players who have played for both clubs, John Hartson,Charlie Nicholas, Ian Wright, Martin Hayse. Didnt want the draw but Im now looking forward to it….Join our forum www.arsenalaction.com [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23HZY2ErxxE]
