Brendan Rodgers’ side head to Germany for Tuesday’s encounter 2-1 down in the Champions League knockout playoff round tie and will have to become the first Hoops side to competitively win on German soil if they want to progress through to the last 16 of Europe’s elite club competition.

However, this will not be the case on tonight as Amazon Prime Video have chosen to have this mammoth second leg match as their featured game.

Subsequently, for the first time in history, a Scottish side will have one of their games produced live on Amazon streaming platforms as Celtic attempt to pull off an almighty shock in Germany.
