Fernandez confident Celtic will overcome defeat by United

CELTIC star David Fernandez believes his team-mates will restore lost confidence and banish the painful memory of losing to Manchester United with a “big performance” against Boca Juniors.

The Glasgow giants are still smarting after being taught a harsh lesson by Alex Ferguson's men on Wednesday morning.

That would have added to the anxiety of the supporters, who were already concerned with the lack of activity in the transfer market this summer despite finishing last season without a trophy. However, the Spanish playmaker is delighted that they have a quick chance to lift morale against one of the world's best sides.
