For the book

Paul Scholes scored twice in the last half hour as Manchester United strolled to a 3-0 win over Celtic in a friendly on Wednesday. John Evans volleyed United ahead after eight minutes with a 7m shot into the roof of the net and Scholes grabbed the second with a near post flick to a free kick by Kieran Richardson just past the hour.
