CELTIC head to Bayern Munich tonight with a shot at an almighty Champions League triumph.
But the Hoops don’t yet know if they’ll be facing the German side’s star striker Harry Kane.

Trailing by just a goal to the Bundesliga leaders thanks to Daizen Maeda’s late header last week, the Hoops have belief they could yet spring an upset.
That belief could heighten further if Kane doesn’t make it, with Bayern set to make a late call on the England captain, who missed training on Monday.
Nicolas Kuhn insists Bayern won’t expect the tie to be over courtesy of Kane’s second half strike that split the teams after the first leg at Parkhead.
And captain Callum McGregor was adamant he and his team-mates would empty the tank to book a place in the next round against either Bayer Leverkusen or Atletico Madrid.
They’ll do it under the lights and in front of 75,000 fans – with the travelling support given a reprieve from Uefa after trouble on their last outing at Aston Villa.
A smoke bomb thrown onto the pitch did not warrant punishment from European football beaks with a suspended sentence hanging over the club following their last trip to Germany.
So thousands of fans will follow the team to their first Champions League knock-out trip since 2012-13.
But as mentioned, it’s not even their first adventure to Germany this season.
The Hoops will be aiming to perform a lot better from this season’s nadir – a 7-1 thumping from Borussia Dortmund back in October.
SunSport has all the details ahead of tonight’s huge game.

Team news
The big news for Bayern Munich is Harry Kane SKIPPED the final training session before the big game.
The England captain was caught in a sickening clash of heads on Saturday – and posted missing at Munich’s MD-1 preparations.
Celtic have a full European squad to select from.
Brednan Rodgers will hope for more of the same from his charges who finsihed last week’s game on a high after reducing the deficit through Maeda.
They almost had the perfect start too but Nicolas Kuhn’s opener in the 26th second was ruled out for offside.
The boss was careful with his stars in the 3-0 win over Dundee United, removing key men Jota and Hatate after an hour then allowing Arne Engels and Nicolas Kuhn a run for the final 20 minutes,.
