He’s been on fire in front of goal again. He’s probably not been to the levels in terms of his performances of what they were last year, as yet. But you certainly can’t complain with his goal return this year. He’s top scorer for Celtic again. In the Champions League games he seems to turn up even more.

He’s going to have to do the dirty side of the game tonight as well and help out Tierney, as is Roberts, before they do anything else going forward.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, speaking to BT Sport: "It's always difficult when you pick a team because everyone wants to play in the big games. The team has been pretty stable, but the injury to Jozo (Simunovic) forces us to adjust things.

"In other games we have put a midfielder in there but at this level you need out and out defenders there to stay concentrated and focus.

"In our Champions League journey over these years we want to be as competitive as we possibly can be. It's about getting the performance, competing, and improving year on year."

Jupp Heynckes, who has agreed a deal until the end of the season, also lifted the Champions League with Real Madrid.

At yesterday's media conference he said: "Of course the Champions League is a competition that has a special sparkle and meaning. The club has big ambitions in it, as do the players and I.

"It's fun to work with the squad. I see how hard the players are working and it's only a matter of time before we play really good football."

Jupp Heynckes is back in charge of Bayern Munich for a fourth time.

The Bundesliga giants reached out to the 72-year-old club legend after sacking Carlo Ancelotti in the wake of their 3-0 loss to PSG.

Heynckes last European tie? Only winning the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley in 2013, having also delivered the league title and German Cup that season before 'retiring' on a glorious high.

And how did the megastars of FC Hollywood respond to his return? A 5-0 drubbing of Freiburg at the weekend.

Bayern's last game against Scottish opposition was a 5-1 home win over Aberdeen in the 2007-08 Uefa Cup for a 7-3 aggregate score

Bayern have won their past four matches against Scottish visitors in Munich and are unbeaten at home against clubs from Scotland (W5 D3)

Celtic's great rivals Rangers have taken on Bayern over nine games in European competition, including the 1967 Cup Winners' cup final. Rangers got their revenge for that 1-0 loss on the way to glory in the same competition five years later.

Danny Lennon famously fired Raith Rovers ahead in the Olympic Stadium in the 1995 Uefa Cup but Jurgen Klinsmann, who scored both goals in the first leg in Kirkcaldy, levelled soon after in a 2-1 home success.

Of course, the Dons had earlier enjoyed a memorable triumph against the Germans, with a 3-2 win at Pittodrie after a goalless draw in Bavaria on their way to Alex Ferguson's team lifting the Cup Winners' Cup in 1983.

On Celtic's only previous visit to these parts Alan Thompson headed them in front, only for Roy Makaay to score a late double to earn Bayern maximum points in the 2003-04 group stage.

The game in Glasgow ended 0-0, with Celtic going on to reach the Uefa Cup semi-finals after finishing behind the Germans and Lyon.

In all of their European adventures Celtic have never won away against a Bundesliga side (D3 L7).

Here's what gets the stars of Bayern Munich going in the morning apparently.

Is it a diet of weisswurst and pretzels that keeps Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Muller running all day?

I think the big performance we’re looking for tonight is Ntcham in the middle of the pitch. I was really looking forward to his contribution to this team when he came into the team first because I thought he’s got a range of passing. He looked as if he’s a player who could push on and he’s actually gone back a little bit the other way. So tonight, these nights, he’s got to step up because they paid a lot of money for him.

Bayern Munich: Ulreich, Kimmich, Hummels, Boateng, Alaba, Robben, Rudy, Thiago, Coman, Muller, Lewandowski.

Substitutes: Starke, Sule, Rodriguez, Rafinha, Vidal, Tolisso, Friedl.

Celtic: Gordon, Gamboa, Lustig, Boyata, Tierney, Roberts, Ntcham, Brown, Sinclair, Armstrong, Griffiths.

Substitutes: De Vries, Bitton, Dembele, Rogic, Ajer, McGregor, Forrest.

Referee: Sergei Karasev (Russia)

These two begin the evening locked on three points, with each side coasting to victory over Anderlecht and slumping to defeat against Group B leaders Paris St-Germain.

Can fans dare to dream of progress or is it all about finishing above the Belgians and having a crack at the Europa League after Christmas?

In nine previous attempts, Celtic have reached the last 16 three times.

Eamon Donoghue: Will it be Coronation Street or watching my team play Bayern Munich in the Champions League......I just cannot decide.😂🍀😂🍀😂🍀

Jamie Whiteford: Any kind of result for us would be a dream.

RedRoss65: Enough attacking talent in the Celtic team to nick a goal or two. Might be an interesting night ahead!

Lewandowski plays in between people and it's his brain that works so quickly. He looks really fast but it's that brain. He plays off the shoulder, he comes short and he can score goals given a chance. He will float in between Lustig and Gamboa, drift off to the back post at times.

Celtic were in Germany last season, drawing 1-1 with Borussia Mönchengladbach, following a defeat in Glasgow.

App users may need to click on the link to see the message from Mönchengladbach...

Scott Sinclair, 28, has been to the Allianz Arena previously in the Champions League with Manchester City, but did not feature.

Team-mate Dedryck Boyata is in the same boat, having been an unused substitute in City's visits to Munich in December 2013 and September 2014.

He actually played very well on Saturday. I was at the game and he got a standing ovation when he came off. He was up and down the line supporting Patrick Roberts at every chance. He was making runs, he had shots on goal. But it's his defensive qualities that we're not 100% sure about with Cristian and really tonight is going to be about that, it's not going to be about, too much, getting into forward areas.

Bayern Munich are missing France winger Franck Ribery and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who are both out long-term.

Spanish defensive duo Javi Martinez and Juan Bernat are also sidelined, but don't start feeling too sorry for the home side who can afford to leave the likes of Chile midfield powerhouse Arturo Vidal on the bench, along with Colombia star James Rodriguez.

Goalkeeper Sven Ulreich is said to be a weak link but will Celtic be able to exert enough pressure on the long-time understudy?
