Celtic will welcome European giants Bayern Munich for a mammoth clash this Wednesday in the first leg of the Champions League last 16 playoff at Celtic Park (kick off: 8pm).
Brendan Rodgers’ side enter the highly-anticipated battle with confidence after their 6-0 win over Dundee in midweek was followed by a commanding 5-0 win over Raith Rovers in the Scottish Cup on Saturday night. They will been boosted by the return of Daizen Maeda too, who has scored six goals in his last three games, after his two match suspension was reduced upon appeal.
It will be their Bundesliga opponents who enter the game as game as favourites though, and they too will be confident of victory after a 3-0 win over Werder Bremen saw them go seven points clear at the top of the table on Friday.
