Oliver Burke comes out of Celtic woodwork with red alert for Bayern Munich – 'this will be FAR from easy'
German insider Oli Burke says Bayern Munich better be wary of Celtic – because they'll be in for a Champions League FIGHT.
Celtic face the Bundesliga leaders in the Champions League play-offs and have a home leg first before travelling to Bavaria to face Bayern. And it will be watched closely by Werder Bremen and Scotland star Burke, who faces Bayern with his new club tonight.
He had a loan spell at Parkhead in 2019 where he scored four goals for the Hoops, having previously cost a combined transfer outlay of £28million when RB Leipzig and West Brom, signed him earlier in his career. And the Bundesliga ace has told Bayern to expect a battle when they face Celtic. Burke said: "Celtic will be far from easy for Bayern Munich. Celtic will give absolutely everything they have against them.

"They will fight for every ball. I think Scottish fans and German fans are similar in culture - that's why the Scots were so popular in Germany during the Euros. They are both a bit crazy - and they like to drink beer!"
The 27-year-old won the last of his 13 Scotland caps in 2020. He's scored two in 13 for Bremen this season and will be hoping to loosen Bayern up for them when his team travel to Bavaria this evening.
