Olise and Kane On Target As Bayern Triumph In Glasgow<\/h2>\n

Scottish Premiership champions Celtic made their long-awaited return to the Champions League<\/a> knockout stages on Wednesday evening, but they faced a tough task in hosting six-time winners and Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

Brendan Rodgers and his side looked to have got off to a dream start though, as Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn smashed home beyond Manuel Neuer after less than 30 seconds. Unfortunately for the home faithful, the goal was chalked off after in-form Irishman Adam Idah was adjudged to have been offside.<\/p>\n

The Bhoys continued to give a good account of themselves for the remainder of the first period, but Bayern<\/a>‘s pressure would eventually pay off, with Michael Olise thundering in the opener on the stroke of half time.<\/p>\n

Vincent Kompany’s side doubled their lead just four minutes after re-emerging from the changing rooms for the second period courtesy of England captain Harry Kane, who volleyed home with ease from a corner.<\/p>\n

Celtic didn’t back down however, and after having a penalty appeal waved away after a VAR check in the 56th minute, Japanese forward Daizen Maeda halved the deficit with a close-range header on the 79-minute mark.<\/p>\n

The result sets up next week’s second leg at the Allianz Arena very nicely and gives supporters of the Glasgow-based outfit some belief that they can cause a monumental upset to potentially advance to the last 16.<\/p>\n
