Evra ruled out for Celtic clash

Patrice Evra has been ruled out of Manchester United's Champions League clash with Celtic at Old Trafford tomorrow.

The defender tweaked a hamstring during Saturday's win over West Brom and though he was able to do a bit of running at United's Carrington training ground this morning, Sir Alex Ferguson has decided not to take a chance on his fitness, so John O'Shea will come in.

South American duo Anderson and Carlos Tevez are available after missing out at the weekend, while Michael Carrick (ankle) and Owen Hargreaves (knee) are out.
