Brendan Rodgers’ side will be aiming to make home advantage count in the first leg as they take on the Bundesliga champions under the lights in Glasgow.
The trip to the Allianz Arena six days later will present another huge test, with Celtic hoping to secure a result that could take them into the last 16 stage of the competition.
The Hoops have already faced top European opposition this season during the league-phase, and they will now look to rise to the challenge against one of the continent’s most successful clubs.

On being paired with Bayern in Friday's draw, Celtic manager Rodgers said: "Yeah, got the easier one, didn't we? Listen, it's brilliant. We earned to get to the play-off stage.
"The players have been outstanding over the eight games and that qualifies us to play one of these top teams. We'll look forward to that when it comes.
"We've played Bayern Munich before here in my time. We had a really, really good game at home. Played very, very well. Could have got something from the game. So, when that comes, we're really excited by that opportunity and we will give everything we can over the course of the two legs."
