STUART Armstrong is refusing to give up hope that Celtic can pip Bayern Munich for a place in the last 16 of the Champions League.
The Scottish champions have shipped eight goals without reply against PSG and Bayern, the two giants of Group B, but a win would move them level on points with the Bavarian giants with two matches left.
“If we can win on Tuesday night then I don’t see why second place can’t be achievable at all,” said Armstrong.

“We have to aim as high as possible. We do not want to put a label on where we want to end up.”
While Bayern could be without Thomas Muller, James Rodriguez, Franck Ribery, Juan Bernat and captain Manuel Neuer, Patrick Roberts join injured defenders Jozo Simunovic, Erik Sviatchenko and Tony Ralston on the Celtic sidelines, with Olivier Ntcham also a doubt.
“Whoever they play, we are under no illusions they are a fantastic team but without belief you have nothing. We have to believe we can get something.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
