I don't think tonight will be an easy game. If we manage to leave with any points it will be a great result. While they may be slipping up in the league, they have done ok in Europe.
However, as always I am going in with the expectation of getting beat, that way I am not disappointed if it does not go our way and ecstatic if it does.
Obviously I want us to win, I am just tempering my expectations.

Before this season,
Dinamo Zagreb had only ever won ONE CL away match and that was 26 years ago, before Celtic had ever played in the CL groups.
With this new format,
Zagreb have actually won their last TWO CL away games.
That stat alone shows tonight will be extremely difficult, especially with our own pathetic CL away record.
It is still however our best chance of a CL away win in the last 7 years since Anderlecht.

I remember them beating us in the qualifiers in 98 when they had viduka.

As always, it’s more about what we do. If we are firing on all cylinders, their form good or bad will be irrelevant. We know we are capable ?.

Weejoe,
That was the year they won their only away match ( Ajax ) until their last 2 CL away games this season.

what an opportunity this is to take 3 pts tonight but it's the same old story of lots of possession and nothing created. Hopefully we will come out in the second half firing. Our creative players have been very quiet and Hatate again has been so wasteful.
{Ed007's Note - It's playing out like an SPFL match, that's their 2nd choice 'keeper who has conceded 10 goals in the 11 matches he's played so we should be peppering his goal with shots from all over the place, mixing it up rather than try walking it in every single time.}
