All we are saying is give us a (first) goal

Andrew H previews tomorrow night

A case study in the psyche of the football supporter has been provided by how so many of us in the Celtic support are choosing to approach the team’s arduous-on-stilts assignment against Bayern Munich tomorrow night.

Even the ultimate dreamers among our ranks know in their heart of hearts what lies ahead for Brendan Rodgers’ side in the Allianz Stadium. Frankly, there is every possibility that securing a three-goal advantage from last Wednesday’s home first leg would not have provided Celtic with a platform to progress to the Champions League last 16. The Munich masters are no strangers to handing out maulings on their own patch when the occasion has demanded. Ask Red Bull Salzburg. The Austrians thought they had a sniff of the Champions League quarter-finals three years ago after holding the Bavarian behemoths 1-1 at home. Only to be battered 7-1.
