Celtic will look to all but secure a last 16 play-off spot as they head to Croatia to face Dinamo Zagreb this evening in the Champions League (kick-off: 5.45pm).
After just one defeat in their opening five European games, Brendan Rodgers’ side can put themselves on 11 points for the campaign with a win at Stadion Maksimir, which virtually guarantees a top 24 finish and a place in a two-legged play-off tie to reach the knockout round of the competition.
They’ll head into the game in confident mood too, after sweeping aside a resurgent Hibs outfit at the weekend. Goals from Arne Engels, Joe Newell (own goal) and Kyogo Furuhashi handed them a comfortable 3-0 victory at Celtic Park.
Celtic have almost a full strength squad to choose from too, though Rodgers must decide whether to bring back Paulo Bernardo, Alex Valle and Reo Hatate after resting them for the weekend win over Hibs. Will the Celtic boss make multiple changes tonight?
