Celtic to reunite with referee of famous Champions League win vs Bayern

The officials have been confirmed for the second leg of Celtic's Champions League knockout round playoff tie with Bayern Munich.

The Germans hold a 2-1 aggregate lead going into Tuesday night's game after goals from Michael Olise and Harry Kane helped them to a narrow victory in Glasgow earlier this week.

Celtic have never won competitively on German soil, although they did defeat RB Leipzig earlier in the Champions League season.

Benoit Bastien refereed that famous 3-1 victory at Parkhead, and Brendan Rodgers' men will reunite with the Frenchman on Tuesday evening, with him set to take charge of proceedings in Bavaria.

Bastien will be assisted by fellow countrymen Hicham Zakrani and Aurelien Berthomieu, with Jeremie Pignard on fourth official duties.

Willy Delajod will head up VAR as Benoit Millot provides assistance to complete a full French officiating team.

Celtic defeated Dundee United 3-0 on Saturday afternoon as they prepared for Tuesday's tie.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, drew 0-0 with Bayer Leverkusen, failing to register a solitary shot on target throughout the match.

Vincent Kompany's men hold a one-goal lead heading into midweek, however, and will remain confident of progressing to the last 16.
