Dinamo Zagreb have admitted they are in a 'crisis' ahead of facing Celtic this week after their own notorious ultras abused them.
The Hoops face the Croatian side in the Champions League, but Dinamo have now failed to win in their last five games and manager Nenad Bjelica claimed they will only have 14 fit players to play against Celtic.
After they had only drawn at home with minnows Slaven Belupo on Friday, the players were subject to abuse and hostility from their infamous Bad Boys Blue fans when they attempted to applaud the supporters.
And that's led Dinamo to go to the extraordinary lengths of releasing a statement about their recent troubles.

An open letter to fans stated: "The game against Slaven showed we are in a crisis of results which has largely been influenced by injuries to the most high-quality of our first-team players.
"But there is no crisis within the club.
"We have funds for the next transfer window. For us, the window has already opened in the search for reinforcements in the agreed positions.
"We will work our way out of this results crisis and return to winning ways.
"Surrender is not an option in Dinamo's DNA.
"Just like in previous seasons, we will get out of our present difficulties together with your support."
