Celtic's Daizen Maeda Cleared for Bayern Munich Clash

Celtic received a significant boost ahead of their Champions League clash against Bayern Munich as top scorer Daizen Maeda was cleared to play after successfully appealing a two-game suspension. Maeda, who has scored 21 goals this season, was initially set to miss the match due to a red card received against Young Boys but will now feature after serving a one-game ban. His recent form includes five goals in his last two games, raising hopes for Celtic to perform well against the German giants. Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers emphasized the importance of drawing confidence from their prior successes in the tournament, particularly a notable win over RB Leipzig. Meanwhile, concerns about the fitness of midfielder Paulo Bernardo were eased after he was deemed fit to participate in the upcoming match. Celtic aims to make a significant impact as they return to the knockout phase of the Champions League for the first time in 12 years.
