MANCHESTER UNITED  1  CELTA VIGO  1

After a very late scare Jose Mourinho's side booked their place in another European final.  26 year after attending the Legia semi final in old Cup Winners Cup, the same scoreline ensures United will have the chance to add the fantastic UEFA Europa League trophy to their collection of trophies won.

An enjoyable day in the capital watching my first game in the Meadowbank Stadium, built for the Commonwealth Games.  Despite the eight lane running track the huge stand affords an excellent view of the match.

New ground and new club Edinburgh City added to the collection.
