Osijek fans have a special message for their Europa League visitors from Glasgow tonight.
Croatian fans know a thing or two about history and aren’t easily fooled by a tribute act even if it has a celebrity manager.
Flags and colours of Croatia have been spotted regularly at Celtic’s European matches in recent seasons with a bond growing up across the continent.

Osijek go into tonight’s match looking to repeat last season’s run to the play-off stage of the Europa League where they lost out on away goals to Austria Wien.
That sort of pedigree contrasts sharply with Sevco who were dumped out on a 2-1 aggregate by Progres Niederkorn last season in their first ever European venture.
Steven Gerrard’s squad flew into Croatia yesterday with The Sun reporting that Josh Windass, Young McCrorie and Daniel Candeas have been dropped following last week’s 0-0 draw away to Shkupi.
