Celtic<\/a> could seal a place in the play-offs if they beat Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday night and results elsewhere go their way.<\/p>\n

It is so close in the league phase that while a victory for Celtic could put them in the play-offs, a defeat could see them face a scrap to make the top 24.<\/p>\n

    Marko Pjaca Scored Hat-Trick In Last Meeting<\/h3>\n

    Marko Pjaca returned to Dinamo Zagreb this year after leaving the club for Juventus in 2016.<\/p>\n

    In his last spell at the club he scored three European goals – all in a 4-3 Europa League victory over Celtic on 11th December 2014 as a then 19-year-old prodigy.<\/p>\n

    The sides put on a seven-goal thriller, with Virgil van Dijk then at the heart of the Celtic defence.<\/p>\n
