This evening, all eyes will be on the highly anticipated clash between Celtic and Bayern Munich at Parkhead. The two powerhouses will play out the first leg of their Champions League play-off tie in Glasgow, before the six-time European champions hosts the Hoops in Bavaria next week.
After finishing inside the top 24 in the new league stage of the UCL, Celtic must beat Bayern to earn their place in the knockouts. Naturally, a lot of eyes have been on these two clubs recently and fans have noticed something about Bayern Munich over the weeks
Despite hosting four Champions League fixtures so far this season, Vincent Kompany’s side have not yet been seen wearing their iconic red home strip. After it was flagged that Bayern have only been sporting their away and third kits this tournament, it has since been revealed that UEFA had banned the players from wearing their home kit.
Bayern have reportedly been made aware of this issue and are expected to make changes, with the black numbers and letters to be switched out whites ones.
Typically, Bayern would be able to wear their home kit against Celtic, due to no clashes in colours with the famous green and white. However, these proposed changes to the kit will not be completed in time for tonight’s match at Celtic Park.
It also remains to be seen whether Bayern will made the amendments in time for the second leg, meaning the hosts could wear an alternative kit despite being on home soil.
