Celtic FC faces Bayern Munich in the Champions League play-off round. Dates and kick-off times confirmed. Possibility of away fan travel ban looming for Celtic supporters.
Celtic FC has officially announced the dates for their highly anticipated Champions League clash with German powerhouse Bayern Munich . The matchup, secured in the play-off round draw earlier today, pits Brendan Rodgers' Bhoys against the Bundesliga giants in what promises to be a thrilling two-legged encounter. This showdown adds to the excitement of another major European rivalry, with Real Madrid facing off against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.
The first leg of the Celtic-Bayern duel is set for Wednesday, February 12th, at Parkhead Stadium, kicking off at the traditional 8pm. The return leg at Bayern's Allianz Arena will follow less than a week later on Tuesday, February 18th, also starting at 8pm. The winner of this intense battle will advance to the next stage of the competition, joining the top 8 teams, including Liverpool, Barcelona, and Aston Villa, in the last 16. Conversely, defeat means elimination from the Champions League.Adding another layer of tension to the fixture is the possibility of an away fan travel ban imposed by UEFA on Celtic supporters. The club is currently on a two-year suspended ban due to repeated incidents involving pyrotechnics and other infractions, following multiple warnings and fines from UEFA. The recent on-field pyrotechnics display during the midweek defeat to Aston Villa has heightened fears that Celtic fans may be banned from travelling to the Allianz Arena, missing out on the chance to witness this epic encounter firsthand
