Bayern Munich will need to be prepared to enter “the cauldron ...

Bayern Munich legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge thinks his club would be wise not to look past Celtic FC in the Champions League.

“They are a bit of a surprise package, winning 3-1 at home against Leipzig and losing 1-7 in Dortmund. Which of these was their standard performance? I’ve already experienced a few games in Glasgow, Celtic Park is a cauldron. Nevertheless, if we have the ambition to reach the final at home, progressing against Celtic is a must. Anything else would be a huge disappointment,” Rummenigge told Sport Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).

The Bavarians figure to be a heavy favorite, but crazier things have happened. Perhaps, the best thing to do is avoid a Macbeth-ian downfall.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the caldron boil and bake;

Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,

Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Cool it with a baboon’s blood,

Then the charm is firm and good.
