Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Celtic against Dinamo Zagreb. Second match of D with Zagreb having overcome Astra in their first game. Celtic drew 2-2 away to Salzburg.

Attacking midfielder Kris Commons (buttock) and defender Jason Denayer (ankle) will return and manager Ronny Deila is without striker Stefan Scepovic who has failed to shrug off a training ground knock, while Charlie Mulgrew (knee), James Forrest (hamstring), Mikael Lustig (groin) and Adam Matthews (calf) remain out.

14'
Zagreb trying to settle down, but have struggled to gain any momentum pushing up the park.
13'
12'
Pinto nudges Izaguirre to the ground as he headed down a flank. Zagreb have a goalkick, but could easily have been a Celtic free-kick.
11'
10'
Stokes with loads of pace on the delivery as he throws in the free-kick, but Eduardo punches clear the danger.
9'
Pinto brings down Izaguirre, and Celtic can throw this free-kick right into the danger area.
8'
Izaguirre looking really hungry. And the support is giving the home side loads of backing from the stands.
7'
Wakaso on the charge, but he lifts the ball straight out of play from the other side of the park. Opportunity wasted.
6'
Tonev steps up to smash a shot a few yards wide from distance. Plenty of pace on the effort, but a few yards wide. Celtic look really hungry.
5'
GOAL! Celtic hit the front. Brilliant goal from Celtic. Lovely one-two involving Commons and Stokes before Commons drills a shot into the corner of the net. 1-0 to Celtic.
4'
Nice stuff from Celtic here early on. Keeping the ball very well.
3'
Some cool play by Simunic to get the ball back to Eduardo, who hammers it long from deep. Zagreb very tidy in possession.
2'
Dinamo have featured in ten UEFA club competition group stages, but have yet to make it through to the next phase.
1'
Lovely night for football as Celtic get the action off and running under the floodlights of Celtic Park.
20:00
Teams on their way out for his. Celtic in green and white hoops. As you would expect. Zagreb in black shirts. Almost ready to go. A crowd of maybe around 30,000 in for this one.

Match odds for this one in case you fancy a flutter: Celtic 11/10, draw 9/4, Dinamo Zagreb 13/5

Zoran Mamić: "Celtic's results may not be as good as Celtic fans would like them to be but we still respect them. We won't underestimate Celtic's ability to play well and we have to play better than in our last game against Astra. I think 10 points should be enough to go through to the next round. The group is very challenging. All the clubs are the same quality and everyone can beat everyone else. We have had a good season so far although we missed the chance to qualify for the Champions League. We will do our best to gain as much experience during this competition and collect as many points as we can."
19:45
Ronny Deila: "The target is to get through and to do that we need 10 points. Home games are very important and if we win the home games we will have 10 points. So that is the target for us. The goal in Scotland is to win everything. That hasn't been done in many years so we know it is a big target but I love big targets so that is what we go for. The League, the League Cup and FA Cup, we want to win them all and we can win them all. But I don't say we are going to win the Europa League. Everything is possible but to win the Europa League would be an unbelievable achievement."
