'Serious' Celtic are not to be messed with according to Dinamo Zagreb star Marko Pjaca - who was thoroughly impressed with what the Hoops had to offer.
Brendan Rodgers' team fought out a 0-0 Champions League draw in Croatia and it was a long way from a classic with neither team really doing themselves justice. The Croatian media were critical of the Hoops, but a point apiece wasn't the worst result for either team in their pursuit of knockout football.
Forward Pjaca netted a hat-trick against Celtic in just 36 minutes ten years ago and was only denied another goal this week after a fantastic late save from Kasper Schmeichel. And he accepted a point was a fair result. He said: "Celtic are a really good, serious team who have been in great form recently. Remember, they have only lost once in the Champions League this season and that was away to Borussia Dortmund.
"So I think we can be proud of our display and we looked really solid throughout the game. This was a fair result although we did have some opportunities to win it including one from me. It was a shame their keeper made such a good save.
"Celtic had more of the ball in the first half, but in the second half, we pressed higher up and were better. I thought we defended well and we go into the remaining games of the tournament with optimism now. Our main priority now though is to start picking up some wins in the league."
