Philippe Clement gets unanimous Rangers verdict on his future from the Jury with Patrick Stewart in the firing line
KEITH JACKSON: Probably not. But if they can give the Germans a bloody nose in Glasgow on Wednesday they can keep the tie alive heading to the Allianz. Daizen Maeda will be a big miss for the first leg but Celtic might still have enough firepower to catch Bayern by surprise.
FRASER WILSON: Celtic at full tilt can get a result in Glasgow on Wednesday no matter how strong Bayern may be. I can see a score draw to take over to Germany. But over two legs the Bundesliga giants’ quality will prove too much.
ANDY NEWPORT: It looks very unlikely. For all that Celtic have been impressive this year while undoubtedly making forward strides on the continent, Bayern are a level or two above where Brendan Rodgers has them at the moment.
SCOTT BURNS: It is going to be a big ask. Bayern Munich aren’t as dominant as they have been in recent seasons but they will still be big favourites. Brendan Rodgers’s side has done well to get this far and will want to keep it alive going to Germany.
KEITH: If he does survive then it will be because he’s operating under a Rangers board which is itself not fit for purpose. Patrick Stewart might have hoped to avoid pulling the trigger but the CEO must realise now that continuing to do nothing is no longer an option.
FRASER: The Rangers board appeared to have backed the manager to the end of the season no matter what... but this defeat might change that. It’s a catastrophic result no matter how much they dominated the game. The domestic campaign is over by February 9 and that’s an indictment on everyone at Ibrox.
ANDY: He’s in major trouble now. Leading the team into the last 16 of the EL won the beleaguered Belgian some time but the fans have had it with Clement and his stuttering side. He may limp on
