Celtic travel to Aberdeen this evening (Wednesday) in the Scottish Premiership before hosting Hibs in Glasgow on Saturday. After that, it's back to Champions League action with a trip to Croatia.
There, they'll play Dinamo Zagreb at the Maksimir Stadium on matchday six of the competition's new-look league-phase, wherein Celtic enter the match with eight points with the hosts on seven.
Due to the run of results to this point (and the fixtures from hereon), Croatia media reckons Celtic's visit is a must-win for Dinamo, however Brendan Rodgers and his players will likewise be keen to record their first away win of the campaign.
Speaking on the Dinamo Zagreb subreddit following last week's fifth round of matches, fans looked ahead to the challenge Celtic can offer.
"Celtic [is] must win," said one user (via Google translate), in-line with the media's prior sentiments.
Another replied: "Celtic plays serious football, but we play at home. Let's hope it's complete (and we're not counting on the referee), so that we have a real chance to win and those famous 10 points that ensures a 99% chance of progression."

One other user said: "It's amazing how things have changed. At the beginning of the season, they said that maybe even with seven points it would be possible to advance, that eight is a high probability, and nine is certain.
"Now we have come to the point that with eight it is questionable whether you can pass and Dinamo currently has 7.
"And we are not favourites against Celtic."
