Saha and Rooney coupled for first goal
This Group F game is crucial to both sides' hopes of qualifying through to the knockout stages and Sir Alex Ferguson's men, who slipped up when they lost in Copenhagen in their last European tie, hold the upper hand after their 3-2 victory at Old Trafford earlier in the section.
However, that win was not as close as the scoreline suggests and apart from a surfeit of class, the Red Devils will have several other factors in their favour in Glasgow.
Hoops defender Gary Caldwell is out with a knee injury, replaced by the erratic Bobo Balde who will be making only his second start in seven months.
That should be good news for Louis Saha whose pace will be far too much for the African and his central defensive partner Stephen McManus to cope with.
Betterbet.com offers 11/2 for Saha to score the first goal - the same price for Wayne Rooney - and we will hedge our bets by going heavier on the Frenchman with a side-bet on the scouser who returned to form with a double against Sheffield United at the weekend.
