Celtic face a huge task as they aim to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit and reach the Champions League last 16 for the first time since 2013. It's live from the Allianz Arena on AMAZON PRIME, with an 8pm kick off.

History is against Celtic:

Celtic haven’t overturned a first-leg defeat in Europe (excluding qualifiers) since 1992, when they lost 2-0 away to Köln only to then win 3-0 at Celtic Park. Since then, they’ve been eliminated in all nine knockout ties after losing the first leg.

They have never progressed from a major knockout tie after losing the first leg at home (0/7). The only time they managed it in qualifiers was in 2009; Samaras' injury time winner saw Tony Mowbray's men beat Dynamo Moscow 2-0 away after a 1-0 home defeat.

Celtic have never won a European match in Germany after 15 attempts, with 3 draws and 12 losses - including the visit to Dortmund earlier in the season.

Celtic will be reliant on the superhuman efforts of man of the moment Daizen Maeda, after he started on the bench at the weekend to give him a rare rest. He completed the most sprints in the competition last week (53) and he's consistently been in the top 2 every matchday.
