Celtic and Liverpool shared six goals in an entertaining 3-3 draw in Stiliyan Petrov and James Milner's 'Match for Cancer' on Saturday.

Jamie Redknapp, Joe Hart, Luis Garcia and Dirk Kuyt were among the players in Milner's Liverpool side, while Henrik Larsson, Scott Brown, Robbie Keane and Gareth Barry were in Petrov's Celtic squad.
