Celtic went into the game in Munich trailing 2-1 from the first leg at Celtic Park, but on the night they were more than a match for Bayern, creating numerous chances before Nicolas Kuhn opened the scoring in the second-half.

That goal put the Hoops ahead on the night and level on aggregate, but in the last seconds of added time, Alphonso Davies bundled the ball over the line to equalise and deny Celtic extra-time.

“It is a real sore one and the boys will be down for a couple of days,” said McGregor, “but it’s important that we don’t dwell on it for too long.

“We have a big game at the weekend and now we’re chasing down the league and there’s still a cup to play for as well, so we have to get this out the system as quick as we possibly can, take the positives form it and remember that feeling as well.

“It’s never nice to lose games of football and especially when you do a lot right and you don’t get what you deserve, then you try and harness that feeling and turn it into a positive.

'And now we just attack the rest of the season with the league and the cup.'

“The growth in the players and the team, even from game one right through to game 10 has been outstanding and there’s a real maturity about the way we’re playing the game now at this level.

“You have to understand that you have to suffer without the ball sometimes but it’s never for too long.

“We’re always trying to nudge ourselves up the pitch, be compact and press at the right times.

"We’ve got some experienced players but there are also some young ones in there as well, and they’re learning all the time as well, the team is growing all the time at this level and when you come and give a performance like that against a top club, then it should give everyone a big shot in the arm for next season.”
