    Ronny Deila said yesterday that his ambition in future rounds is to have a 60,000 capacity at Celtic Park - something that he has not experienced since taking over from Neil Lennon as manager in the summer.

    There will be a lot less in Stadion Maksimir tonight, with the predicted 1,000 travelling fans expected to make up about a quarter of the attendance.

    This is the sixth meeting between Dinamo Zagreb and Celtic, with home advantage having proved to be significant in all of the previous encounters.

    Dinamo have won both their home games, while Celtic have overcome the Croats three times in Glasgow.

    Will the trend continue in Zagreb tonight? Almost 15 minutes away from kick-off now.

    Dinamo Zagreb are bottom of Group D, but they have only dropped two points in 18 outings in the Croatian top flight and stretched their lead at the top of the table to seven points with a 3-0 win over second-top Rijeka on Saturday.

    That was revenge for their only domestic defeat this season, losing 2-1 to the same opponents in the Croatian Super Cup in July.

    They will be looking for a win that will lift them above Astra should the Romanians lose away to group winners Salzburg.

    It is Kris Commons' first start for Celtic since a 2-1 win over Dundee on 22 November.

    Wakaso and Stefan Scepovic are making their first starts since the 1-1 draw with Astra Giurgiu in the Europa League on 6 November.

    The goal for Dinamo Zagreb, according to head coach Zoran Mamic, is to end a disappointing campaign on a high - as well as improve their own co-efficient for future campaigns.

    The former Bochum 1848 and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder points out that his side caused Celtic problems before losing 1-0 to a Kris Commons goal in the reverse fixture in Glasgow in October.

    Although Celtic are already through, manager Ronny Delia has stressed that Celtic will still be motivated to claim victory as they look to improve their own European co-efficient - and that of other Scottish teams - for European competitions in years to come.

    Celtic make four changes from the team that defeated Motherwell 1-0 on Saturday in the Scottish Premiership, with the Glasgow side now three points clear at the top.

    Calum McGregor and Wakaso come into midfield with captain Scott Brown and James Forrest having been rested.

    Going into tonight's games, 22 of the 32 teams who will contest the next round of the Europa League have already been decided.

    Joining Salzburg as group winners are Everton, Dinamo Moskva, Inter Milan and Fiorentina, while Tottenham Hotspur, Beşiktaş, Feyenoord, Napoli, Dynamo Kyiv, Legia Warszawa and Trabzonspor have qualified and still have a chance of winning their groups.

    PSV Eindhoven, like Celtic, have already been confirmed as runners-up in their sections.

    Dropping into the Europa League after failing to qualify for the Champions League knock-out stage are Liverpool, Olympiacos, Zenit, Anderlecht, Roma, Ajax, Sporting Lisbon, Athletic Bilbao. Olympiacos, Zenit, Sporting and Bilbao will be seeded in the draw along with the Europa League group winners.

    So who would Celtic fans - or neutrals for that matter - prefer to play in the last 32? Give us your thoughts.

    Celtic, of course, have the luxury of knowing that they have already qualified for the round of 32 as runners-up behind Salzburg.

    And manager Ronny Deila has taken the opportunity to rest captain Scott Brown - the midfielder being in danger of a suspension should he pick up another yellow card - and winger James Forrest, who is still struggling for full fitness.
