Celtic know Bayern Munich will provide a stern Champions League test next week.
The Hoops drew the German giants in the knockout playoff and will prepare for them immediately after their Scottish Cup tie against Raith Rovers tomorrow.
Brendan Rodgers has made it clear that he wants his squad to fully focus on their domestic opponents this weekend before turning their attentions to Bayern after that.
Which is exactly what manager Vincent Kompany has urged his own players to do.
They play Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga later this evening and will hope to add to their lead at the top of the division.
Vincent Kompany says Celtic are different from Bundesliga opponents
When grilled about Celtic and what the Hoops might bring to the glamour UCL tie at Parkhead first and then the Allianz Arena, Kompany was asked how the Scottish Premiership giants compare to Bremen.
And the Belgian head coach was honest in his admission that, structurally, the two clubs are “different”.
The Hoops are in a much better spot than their counterparts with Rodgers‘ team embracing an attacking culture.
Kompany did, however, turn his attention back to the German match as he demanded the media do the same.
What Kompany said about Celtic ahead of Bayern Munich Champions League tie
Kompany said: “In terms of structure, Werder Bremen and Celtic are different. But at the moment there is only Bremen, nothing else.
“The only game that we can win tomorrow is against Bremen and not Celtic.
“So the priority for us is only this game against Bremen. They are doing very well away from home.
“There are no easy games in the Bundesliga.”

Bayern’s squad are seemingly excited to face Celts even if their manager wants to keep the atmosphere on an even keel.
Thomas Muller sounded buzzing when discussing the coming tie.
Serge Gnabry was also told what to expect from Parkhead when his teammate and captain Joshua Kimmich explained how he has found Glasgow in the past.
