Celtic are in Croatia on matchday six of the Champions League as they take on Dinamo Zagreb.
The Hoops will travel full of confidence with just one defeat to their name in all competitions this year – a 7-1 humbling to Borussia Dortmund. But Brendan Rodgers will know that his side will have to tighten up on their showing against Hibs on Saturday, with Kasper Schmeichel in inspired form to keep David Gray’s men at bay. Celtic fans know that a victory in the Croatian capital would virtually secure a place in the knockout stages of the Champions League, however having not tasted success on the road in Europe’s premier club competition for more than seven years they face a tough task.
Standing in their way are a Dinamo Zagreb side who have had a mixed time of it so far in the Champions League. A 9-2 matchday one defeat to Bayern Munich was followed by a draw with Monaco and away victories against Salzburg and Slovan Bratislava, before Dortmund won 3-0 at the Maksimir Stadium on matchday five. Domestically Nenad Bjelica is starting to feel some heat too, with the Croats four without a win in their own league.
It’s sure to be a fascinating encounter, and Record Sport has all the details so you don’t miss a single moment of action.

TNT SportsReferee and VAR
German ref Felix Zwayer will be the man in the middle, with the 43-year-old taking charge of Celtic in Europe for the third time. He was previously in charge for last season’s 2-2 draw with Atlético Madrid and a 2-1 Parkhead defeat to Ajax in the Europa League back in 2015. Zwayer will be assisted by Robert Kempter and Christian Dietz with Florian Badstübner the fourth official. Sascha Stegemann is the VAR and Johann Pfeifer the assistant VAR.
Team news
Hoops fans will have breathed a sigh of relief when Brendan Rodgers confirmed that star man Nicolas Kuhn was only substitute at half-time against Hibs for tactical reasons. That leaves fringe man Odin Thiago Holm as the only man ruled out for the game.
Zagreb meanwhile face a few issues, with talisman Bruno Petkovic unlikely to be fit. He would join Juan Cordoba, Petar Sucic and Josip Misic on the treatment table.
