Today in the UEFA Champions League Group C match taking place in Glasgow, the team will compete without Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.

Although both center-backs participated in the team's training on Tuesday, head coach Sir Alex Ferguson decided to rest these players for important battles in the English Premier League.

This will be only the second game this season where the "Red Devils" will play either without Vidic or without Ferdinand. Youngsters Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans should take their place in the heart of the defense.

Scotland's national team captain Darren Fletcher did not train yesterday and will not play in his homeland today, but the team will have defenders Ryan Giggs and Anderson, who have not played for several weeks, available.
