In total, 14 arrests were made by police throughout the day in Manchester as Celtic fans travelled in their thousands from Glasgow.

The Scottish champions returned home with a point after Patrick Roberts scored his parent club, opening the scoring before City’s Kelechi Iheanacho levelled proceedings in the Group C clash.
