Celtic manager Gordon Strachan has warned his players that playing Manchester United in the Champions League is a step up in class even from international football. The Scottish Premier League leaders begin their Group F campaign at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Sir Alex Ferguson's men have started the season with four consecutive victories and Strachan admits his side face a stiff challenge against top opposition. He said: 'We are going to play against some of the best players in the world. 'Forget about international level - that really doesn't count. 'If United play in the English Premiership and then play at international level then 90% of the time they are going down a level. This is the highest level you can play.' </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></DIV>
