A collection of footballing stars arrived in Celtic Park this afternoon to participate in Petrov vs Milner, A Match For Cancer - a charity game between players brought together by Celtic legend Stiliyan Petrov and Liverpool's James Milner.

Featuring the likes of Henrik Larsson, Robbie Keane and Shay Given on the Petrov XI, Milner found some worthy teammates in Dirk Kuyt, Luis Garcia and the Spanish World Cup-winner Joan Capdevilla.

Managed by Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klopp respectively, the Petrov and Milner XIs played out an entertaining 3-3 draw in Glasgow. With a footballing free-styler opening the scoring for Milner's side from the penalty spot shortly after the 10-minute mark, you can watch the next five goals below.

Petrov Vs Milner - All The Goals

1-1 - Robbie Keane:

Following some wonderful inter-play between Keane, Young and Hristo Stoichkov, Ireland's all-time record goalscorer finished this opening effort for Petrov's side off with the kind of aplomb Martin O'Neill only wish he still had in the Irish set-up.

2-1 - Joan Capdevilla

An unlikely scorer this afternoon, Milner's Spanish full-back got on to the end of this cross and headed in well at the far-post - Shay Given had no chance!

2-2 - Ashley Young

Once again, it was that Young/Keane axis that proved a formidable tool for Petrov's side. A lovely little ball in from the Bulgarian found Keane, who, with a wonderfully weighted pass, fed in the Manchester United wing-back who finished with great comfort.

3-2 - Joan Capdevilla

Bizarrely, it was the Spaniard who again put the Milner XI ahead. Another pretty poor attempt at clearing a corner allowed him plenty of time and space to squeeze this one past Given's near post.

3-3 - Gabby Agbonlahor

The least remarkable thing about the final goal of this 3-3 draw was probably the finish from Agbonlahor. Between the initial touch and pass of Keane, followed by the assist from Henrik Larsson, it was some way to finish things off.
