Bayern Munich bring a slender one-goal lead into this second leg, having edged last week's initial encounter 2-1. A goal either side of half-time had the Bavarian giants cruising towards the last 16, but the Scottish champions never let their heads drop, and Daizen Maeda managed to pull one back about 10 minutes from the end to give Celtic some hope of turning things around here in Munich.

Celtic come into this game off the back of a convincing 3-0 win against Dundee United, with McGregor, Jota and Idah all contributing a goal each as last week's goalscorer started the game on the bench. Bayern, on the other hand, were lucky to leave the BayArena with a point when they took on second-placed Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, but the draw maintained their eight-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga.
