Celtic vs Bayern Munich: Preview
Celtic come into Wednesday's clash at Celtic Park in fine form, with their lead in the SPL a whopping thirteen points.
Brendan Rodgers' men have not lost on home soil since December 2023 and it is a record the Hoops will be looking to improve upon as they welcome argubly their toughest test of the season so far.
The last time the two sides met in Europe was back in 2017, as the Bundesliga giants emerged victors by 2-1, thanks to goals from Kingsley Coman and Javi Martinez.
As for Bayern, Vincent Kompany's men also boast an impressive recent run with the Bavarians top of the Bundesliga table by a margin of eight points.
Top scorer Harry Kane will be hoping to improve on his impressive tally of 28 goals in 28 appearances this term and the 31-year-old has been loosely linked with a move back to England in recent days.
Can Celtic cause an upset or will the sheer class of Bayern's star-studded squad prove too much on this occasion?
