Celtic will be seeded for the Champions League play-off as a result of Rijeka clinching the Croatian title.
Rijeka were victorious against Slaven Belupo on the final day, taking them onto 65 which is level Dinamo Zagreb with the teams also tied on goal difference. However, because Croatia uses head-to-head and not goal difference to decide a title winner, they come out on top.
The Hoops faced the prospect of eight teams with a better coefficient than them making it to the play-off round. Celts needed four of them to drop out of contention to ensure they were seeded and before tonight that happened to Olympiacos, Shakhtar Donetsk, and RB Salzburg. Bodo/Glimt are definitely in the draw.
That meant Celtic needed one of Red Star Belgrade, Dinamo Zagreb, FC Copenhagen and Ferencvaros to fall away.
Therefore, Dinamo not making it has worked in their favour and ensures, in theory, an easier path to the Champions League league phase and the riches that come with it.

It is the first time since 2017 Dinamo have lost out on the Croatian top flight and Rijeka were the champions then too.
Rijeka being confirmed tonight is a result of a quirk in Croatian football. Goal difference is used to separate any teams joint on tops all the way through to game day 35. But after round 36, H2H comes into play.
A 4-0 win over Dinamo in February went a long way to ensuring they came out on top, the other results being two draws and a 1-0 defeat.
