No sooner had Celtic been afforded unlikely hope on the eve of the second leg of their Champions League playoff against Bayern Munich than their contingent in the Bavarian capital dismissed any notion of Harry Kane missing the match.
The hosts take a 2-1 lead into the return and Kompany’s desire to use Kane or otherwise may depend on whether he believes Bayern already have sufficient leeway as they plot a path towards the last 16.
Rodgers readily admitted Bayern were firm favourites but it is a sign of Celtic’s development at Champions League level that they arrived with spring in step.
The Bayern manager, Vincent Kompany, said he would wait until Tuesday before deciding whether the England captain can line up against the Scottish champions.
“It doesn’t change anything in terms of, we need to win the game and we want to win the game,” Rodgers said.
