Celtic prepared for their Champions League trip to Bayern Munich by continuing the march towards another Scottish Premiership title with a convincing win over Dundee United. Fine first-half finishes from Callum McGregor and Jota made the difference before Adam Idah fired a sensational late third as the home side extended their lead to 16 points,

Bayern Munich scored either side of halftime through Michael Olise and Harry Kane but had to endure late pressure from hosts Celtic before securing a 2-1 victory in their Champions League playoff first leg on Wednesday.

It feels like a lost opportunity for Bayern Munich. On Wednesday, the Rekordmeister beat Scottish giants Celtic 2-1 thanks to goals by Michael Olise (45’) and Harry Kane (49’). Although it is a win ahead of the return leg, the 79th-minute strike by Daizen Maeda means Bayern still has work to do at the Allianz Arena next week.
