Harry Kane bizarrely asked to 'skip' Celtic in post-match interview

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane was bizarrely asked to 'skip' his side's clash with Celtic on Wednesday.

The Bavarians travel to Glasgow's east end for the first leg of a hotly anticipated Champions League knockout round playoff tie.

They warmed up for the clash by putting Werder Bremen to the sword in a comfortable 3-0 home victory last night.

Harry Kane bagged a brace from the spot, as Leroy Sane also got in on the act.

While being interviewed post-match, striker Kane, who has scored 27 goals across 28 appearances in all competitions this season, was strangely asked to 'skip' his team's match against Celtic for a minute.

Indeed, in between both legs of the tie, Bayern have a top-of-the-table Bundesliga clash with Bayer Leverkusen. A reporter resultantly asked Kane about that and requested him not to consider Celtic.

He said (RecordSport): "If you allow us to skip the game in Glasgow, the next one will be against Bayer Leverkusen.

"You didn’t win the last ones against them. What needs to change?"

Kane sidestepped the question and proved his focus is fully on the Scottish Premiership champions when he took to X post-match last night, exclaiming 'Roll on Wednesday'.

While Bayern are now honing in on their trip to Parkhead, Celtic must first negotiate a Scottish Cup tie with Raith Rovers this evening before the German giants come into consideration.
