Oliver Burke hypes Celtic’s fight ahead of Champions League clash with Bayern Munich

Former Celtic loan forward Oliver Burke has warned Bayern Munich to beware of his old club next week because they will fight for every ball.

Celtic face the German cracks in the UEFA Champions League play-offs and have a home leg first before travelling to Bavaria to face Bayern.

Werder Bremen and Scotland star Burke had a loan spell at Parkhead in 2019 where he scored four goals for the Hoops.

He previously cost a combined transfer outlay of £28million when RB Leipzig and West Brom signed him earlier in his career.

And the Bundesliga ace has told Bayern to expect a battle when they face Celtic.

Burke said: "Celtic will be far from easy for Bayern Munich.

"Celtic will give absolutely everything they have against them. They will fight for every ball.

"I think Scottish fans and German fans are similar in culture - that's why the Scots were so popular in Germany during the Euros.

"They are both a bit crazy - and they like to drink beer!"

The 27-year-old won the last of his 13 Scotland caps in 2020.
