Harry Kane admits surprise at being unmarked for goal vs Celtic

Bayern Munich star Harry Kane was surprised at being unmarked at the back post for his goal against Celtic last night.

The English striker doubled the Germans' lead in Glasgow's east end just four minutes into the second 45.

Joshua Kimmich delivered a corner deep into the Celtic penalty area, and the 31-year-old was at the back stick to fire home, free of any challenge.

Post-match, Kane admitted his shock at being unmarked for his goal.

Legendary frontman Thierry Henry asked him on American television show CBS Sports Golazo if he was surprised at such a happening: "Yeah, I was a little bit, to be honest," Kane replied.

"I said to Josh (Kimmich) and to Michael (Olise) just to keep delivering to that back post because even if I was 1v1, I fancied my chances to get on the end of it."

Now up to an impressive 29 goals in as many appearances for Bayern this season, Kane is one of Europe's leading marksmen.

He will look to add a few more strikes to his ever-growing tally when Celtic travel to Bavaria for the return leg of the Champions League knockout round playoff tie next Tuesday.

Before that, though, Brendan Rodgers' men host Dundee United at Parkhead in the Scottish Premiership this Saturday as they aim to make it three league wins on the bounce.
