Daizen Maeda's deft header kept Celtic's hopes of reaching the Champions League last 16 alive, despite the Scottish Premiership side falling to defeat against Bayern Munich in Glasgow.
Japan international Maeda, whose suspension for the first leg was only overturned on Monday, hauled Brendan Rodgers' side back into a tie which appeared beyond them after goals either side of the break for Bayern.
Michael Olise's outrageous strike on the stroke of half-time set Vincent Kompany's side on their way to a much-deserved win after a dominant performance.
The Hammersmith-born France international hammered a ferocious shot high past Kasper Schmeichel after cutting in from the right and leaving Greg Taylor for dust.
It was the sickest of sucker-punches for Celtic, but it lifted Bayern, who roared out of the traps in the second half.
England captain Harry Kane was left, inexplicably, unmarked at the back post to volley in his 29th goal in 29 games this season and seventh in this competition.
Kane supplied warning shots in the first half, smashing into the side netting and forcing Schmeichel into a superb save – though he was ruled offside – but Celtic didn't take heed.
The Bundesliga leaders did of their earlier warning, though. They had been stunned inside 30 seconds when former Bayern youngster Nicolas Kuhn shifted inside and swept past Manuel Neuer from 25 yards.
However, an offside flag halted the cacophonous celebrations inside Celtic Park after the offside Adam Idah was deemed to have obstructed Neuer's view.
It proved a precursor to a frustrating evening for Celtic but one from which they emerge with their hopes of reaching the last 16 still, just, alive ahead of Tuesday's second leg.
