Celtic hero Chris Sutton says his old team must stand tall and show no fear against Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening.

The Scottish champions face a daunting challenge against the German giants in a crucial European clash, but Sutton believes they must embrace the occasion and rise to the challenge.

Speaking ahead of the match, Sutton emphasized the importance of belief and resilience. “Celtic can’t afford to be intimidated,” he said. “Bayern are a top-class team, but Celtic Park has seen special nights before. The players need to stand tall, be aggressive, and make life difficult for Bayern from the first whistle.”

Sutton, who played a key role in Celtic’s famous European nights under Martin O’Neill, knows what it takes to compete at the highest level. He stressed that the team must be defensively solid while also looking to exploit any weaknesses Bayern might show. “It’s about more than just sitting back and hoping for a result. Celtic must be smart, disciplined, and brave in possession. The crowd will play a massive part, and if the team shows fight, the fans will lift them.”

Celtic have struggled against elite European sides in recent years, but Sutton remains optimistic. “Nobody expects them to win, but that should fuel them. Football is unpredictable, and if Celtic believe in themselves, they can make it a difficult night for Bayern.”

With a passionate home crowd behind them, Celtic have an opportunity to show their mettle on the big stage. Sutton’s message is clear: play with heart, play without fear, and make Bayern earn every inch on the pitch.
