Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has been speaking to the media before his side’s Champions League play-off first leg against Bayern Munich. Rodgers says it’s a “big surprise but a nice surprise” to have Daizen Maeda back after his suspension was halved, calling the Japan forward an “extraordinary player” and joking he “ran the legs off him” in the past three games, thinking he wouldn’t be available on Wednesday evening. A key message from Rodgers was for his side to make sure they have something to play for next week: “It’s very important to be very much alive in the tie.”
