As the Bayern Munich squad arrived in Glasgow ahead of their Champions League clash with Celtic, their distinctive team buses, adorned in the club’s colours and logos, were hard to miss. The German giants travel in style, and their luxurious transportation is just one sign of their elite status in European football.
This scene is reminiscent of an earlier Champions League encounter this season when RB Leipzig rolled into town with similar flair. On that occasion, despite Leipzig’s grand entrance, Celtic delivered a memorable performance, securing a 3-1 victory at Celtic Park.
Nicolas Kühn, a former Leipzig youth player, was instrumental in that win, netting two goals against his former club. Reo Hatate added a third, sealing a significant triumph for the Hoops. Nicolas Kuhn also had a stint at Bayern as a youngster, so here’s hoping he can get among the goals again!
As Bayern’s impressive convoy makes its way through Glasgow, Celtic fans will be hoping for a repeat of that spirited display. While the Bavarian side boasts a squad brimming with talent, the atmosphere at Celtic Park has historically been a fortress for the home side.
The memory of Leipzig’s defeat serves as a reminder that, regardless of the opposition’s stature or the luxury of their arrival, Celtic can rise to the occasion on European nights.
With the stage set and the anticipation building, supporters will be eager to see if the Bhoys can once again defy the odds and deliver a performance to remember against the German heavyweights.
While the Germans rock up to Celtic Park in style, the home side will be very grounded in their standard Parks of Hamilton bus journey!
