Bayern Munich have been prohibited from wearing their home kit in the Champions League this season due to a design issue.
The German giants led Celtic 2-1 on aggregate in the second leg of their knockout round play-off tie on Tuesday for a spot in the last 16.
Celtic don green and white on their iconic shirts whilst Bayern are known for wearing red, with a black aspect featuring this season.
However, whilst there isn't a kit clash between the two teams, only one home strip will be on display in the Champions League clash.
As reported by German outlet BILD via The Sun, UEFA have enforced a ban on Bayern that prevents them from wearing their red kit.
It is said that the darkened numbers on their jersey don't offer enough contrast for those watching.
Bayern can wear their red home kit in the Champions League, but only if they change the lettering and numbering to white.
Vincent Kompany's side have instead worn their black away kit and beige third strip during their matches in the competition this season.
This was the case at Celtic Park as Bayern wore their away kit, and they have donned their third shirt in the home leg on Tuesday.
Bayern's 12th place finish in the league phase saw them enter a two-legged play-off for a spot in the knockout stages.
Bayern won five of their eight matches, but lost the other three to Aston Villa, Barcelona and Feyenoord to leave them with 15 points.
Elimination from the competition entirely was a possibility at one point, but they salvaged vital wins to keep their European Cup hopes alive.
Harry Kane is their top scorer in the competition this season with six goals - four of which came in their 9-2 thrashing of Dinamo Zagreb.
The England captain could increase his overall record of 35 strikes in the Champions League when Bayern face Celtic.
And should he get on the score sheet, it would be his first ever goal against a Scottish side.
A last-16 clash against Bayer Leverkusen or Atletico Madrid awaits the winners of Bayern vs Celtic.
