Man Utd's Fletcher expecting noisy reception at Ibrox

Darren Fletcher is preparing for a raucous night at Ibrox on Wednesday night when they face Rangers in the Champions League. Manchester United head north to face Rangers knowing a single point will be enough to confirm their place in the Champions League knock-out phase with a match to spare.

As Scotland's captain and best player Fletcher will be afforded some respect from the home support. As a confirmed Celtic supporter, he will not.

"I am sure I will get plenty of stick from the home support," he laughed.

"But I am really looking forward to the game. Rangers are a massive club with a huge support.

"It will be a special night that's for sure. I experienced it from the bench when we went there a few years ago and I know the atmosphere will be a fantastic.

"But that is what playing in Europe is all about.

"Part of the challenge is performing in intimidating atmospheres. It is something we all enjoy."

"We still have a job to do," he added.

"We still need the point that is going to take us into the next round.

"Although we will enjoy it on Wednesday, we are also intent on producing a professional performance to try and win the match and see us through."
