    A few DC united players at the 3-0 game over the huns las season.

    D.C. United's preparation for tonight's meeting with Celtic FC began eight months ago, on a chilly November night in Scotland, when three United regulars ventured into Glasgow's East End to experience one of the best rivalries in the world.
    Brian Carroll, Santino Quaranta and Ben Olsen were traveling with the U.S. national team when they joined several coaches and teammates as spectators at a Scottish League Cup game between Celtic and Rangers. U.S. teammate Claudio Reyna, who has played for Rangers, left his American friends to sit with the segregated section of visiting Rangers fans and avoid any possibility of trouble. Carroll found himself mobbed by Celtic supporters after the team scored. "They just thought that I was a Celtic fan and kept jumping all over me," he said.
    Another U.S. teammate, DaMarcus Beasley, befriended several particularly enthusiastic fans and attempted to join in on the songs. Quaranta saved his ticket from the event; he said he'll keep it for the rest of his life.
    "That game was something I've never seen before," Quaranta said. "It was absolutely insane."
    The atmosphere tonight promises a few differences. Celtic Park is widely known as "Paradise"; RFK Stadium has been called many things, but "Paradise" is not on that list. Celtic defender Adam Virgo told the club's Web site he hoped the weather would be "perfect" this week; mid-July in Washington has been called many things, but "perfect" is not on that list.
    But tonight offers yet another chance for United to burnish its reputation against a storied European club. United has a 14-5-3 record in such international friendlies and was competitive last summer in a 2-1 loss to England's Chelsea at FedEx Field. And players have expressed their enthusiasm for the game, with defender Bobby Boswell lobbying to play "90-plus" minutes despite a nagging knee injury.
    "It's a test for us, to see where we stand," he said. "You know, that's where we want to be. We want to be playing the best of the best."
    United Coach Peter Nowak said much the same, pointing out that a competitive performance is necessary both to continue to lure European clubs to the District and to maintain the form that has led to United's 12-game unbeaten streak.
    "Of course the result matters," he said. "It's a very important game to our franchise, and we have to treat this game with a lot of respect."
    Still, the lineup United trots out tonight will have some notable absences. Goalkeeper Troy Perkins, who leads Major League Soccer in goals against average, is likely to receive his first breather of the season, clearing the way for former starter Nick Rimando. Leading scorer Jaime Moreno has been in Los Angeles for the ESPY Awards and won't play tonight. Nowak said he hopes to use virtually the entire 27-player roster.
    Celtic, which is on its second international trip of the preseason, will also experiment. The team signed five players and lost several stars during a busy offseason. Its World Cup contingent-- goalkeeper Artur Boruc and forward Maciej Zurawski of Poland and midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura of Japan -- were not expected to make the trip to America.
    But the club's famously loyal fans in the stands tonight will probably number in the thousands. The Washington D.C. Celtic Supporters Club -- one of at least 77 in North America -- was scheduled to kick off its pregame festivities last night, and fans will begin congregating in Capitol Hill bars at noon.
    They will be joined by Celtic supporters from Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and Canada, according to Callum Murray, president of the D.C. group. And several United players said they share that excitement.
    "It's Celtic," forward Alecko Eskandarian said by way of explanation. "For me personally, just being a huge soccer fan, it's going to be an absolute honor to play against them and see what I can do against one of the top clubs in the world."
    United Notes: Forward Jamil Walker, who traveled to Glasgow for a tryout with Celtic in 2004, said he will return from a pelvic injury tonight. . . .
    Former U-Mass. forward Yuri Morales, who played most recently in Denmark, is auditioning with United this week.
