Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has told The Scottish Sun that the support that the fans gave to the team against Bayern Munich was incredible.

The Bhoys took on Bayern away from home at the Allianz Arena in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

As expected, the Glasgow giants lost 3-0 to the German powerhouse and were never in the game.

In fact, Bayern could have won by a much bigger margin, and Celtic will consider themselves fortunate that they did not concede five or six goals.

Celtic are one of the biggest clubs in the world and have a huge fanbase, and that was evident in their support at the Allianz Arena.

The Celtic fans will probably have not been too disappointed, given the gulf in class between the Hoops and Bayern on the pitch in terms of quality of players.
