Brendan Rodgers: Celtic Park crescendo will put pep in our step in Bayern Munich return leg

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers claimed his players will take confidence from the final quarter of their first leg against Bayern Munich after Daizen Maeda's late goal gave the Hoops a glimmer of hope.

Bayern quickly got on top in Glasgow after Nicolas Kuhn had a goal disallowed due to Republic of Ireland international Adam Idah being in an offside position just 28 seconds into the Champions League knockout stage play-off.

Goals from Michael Olise and Harry Kane either side of half-time put the German side firmly in command but Celtic improved after Maeda moved inside to centre-forward and the Japan international headed home from close range in the 79th minute.

Celtic Park came alive and Manuel Neuer saved well from Alistair Johnston as they pushed for an equaliser.
