Brendan Rodgers insists if any Celtic fans are disappointed with his side's point in Zagreb, then it exemplifies how far they've come.
The Scottish champions were held to a 0-0 stalemate in the Croatian capital on matchday six of the Champions League on Tuesday night.
They moved onto nine points in the league phase of the competition with the draw, putting them in an ideal position to qualify for the play-off round with two fixtures against Young Boys and Aston Villa to go.
Rodgers insists his side lacked qualify in the final third as they looked to put Dinamo to the sword.
“The positive is that we’ve come away again and we’re defensively strong,” the 51-year-old said. “We didn’t concede. When you have that confidence to do that in Europe it really helps you make steps forward.
“I thought we lacked quality, if I’m honest, in the final third of the pitch.
“We progressed the game well enough – we got into some really good areas. The pitch was a little bit tricky.
“So, that was the only downside of the game for us. We had a great energy and good commitment.
“It looked like towards that end that we could make that breakthrough. We had a great move where Arne [Engels] squares it but the defender makes a brilliant block.

“We arrived into that area quite a lot but we were a little bit loose with our passing, which meant we couldn’t quite make that moment count.
“If you’re in the Champions League, you get a clean sheet and you take a point away from home and you’re not very happy, then that shows you how much and how far the team is progressing.
“If you looked at the old format and you had nine points after six games you’d be so happy, especially after how it’s gone for us over the last number of years.
“This group and team is gaining confidence at this level now. Tonight tells you everything you need to know.
“We’re a little bit disappointed we haven’t won the game, or certainly, we should’ve done more to win. It wasn’t through a lack of effort of commitment, the players gave everything.
“We played on Saturday and we had a short turnaround to travel, get to here and play on Tuesday.
“I was pleased with the bravery on the ball, and to the way we dominated the ball. It just didn’t quite go for us in the final third.”
