Celtic conclude their Europa League Group D campaign when they play Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia on Thursday, kick-off 6pm.

Ronny Deila's side are already through to the last 32 of the competition as runners-up to Salzburg and will discover their opponents when the draw is made on Monday.

An early Kris Commons goal earned Celtic a 1-0 win when the sides met in October and Dinamo are bottom of the table, having lost four games in a row since beating Astra on matchday one.

Deila told the club website: “We have to use every game to learn about European football. Zagreb is a good team and they created chances against us at Celtic Park and it was a very close game.

“It’s an important match because it’s about getting seeded next year when we want to be in Champions League. If we get three points we have a better chance to be seeded.

“It’s a new game and you want to win every game - we want a good performance and I hate playing bad football games."
