Summary at a Glance

Brendan Rodgers praised Harry Kane as one of the best in the world in his position but bemoaned his side’s actions after Celtic fell to a 2-1 loss in the first leg of their Champions League play-off tie.

Kane’s goal gives Bayern a potentially vital lead going into next week’s second leg at the Allianz, with Celtic now facing a mammoth task to progress to the competition's last 16.

And though Celtic fought back and got a deserved goal when Daizen Maeda bundled in late on, it wasn't enough as Kane’s goal gave the Bavarians the win.

Rodgers was speaking after Kane’s second-half goal gave Bayern a narrow lead in the Champions League play-off tie.
