BAYERN MUNICH boss Vincent Kompany reckons Celtic would be 'hot' opponents for them if they get paired with the Parkhead side in the Champions League.
The Parkhead side could face either Real Madrid or Bayern in the play-offs.
Kompany - who won four titles as a player for Manchester City - could face his former club in the draw, but he insisted he has not got a preference between Celtic or City.

He said: "With City, everyone knows what qualities they have. But Celtic are also hot.
"We need to rebuild our momentum, but it was clear that big games were coming.
"City and Celtic will have a good feeling because of the way they are playing and will be confident and we have to have that feeling too. Everything is in our hands."
And Celtic were praised by Bayern's legendary German keeper and captain Manuel Neuer.
The 38-year-old said: "Manchester City and Celtic are both great opponents.
"We know the quality of both teams."
