Review
A small crowd turned out in the 60,000 capcity stadium. It was a freezing night and conditions were hard.
Zagreb attacked from the start and Celts had a scare when Lamza hit a post but Murdoch sealed the tie with a goal in 41 minutes with a powerful shot after a suspected hand ball.
Zagreb continued to press and were good value for their two goals but Celtic were safely through to the quarter finals where they will face Slovan Bratislava of Czechoslovakia.
