That's the trouble with trying to manage expectations. Every now and then your team goes and spoils it all by doing something stupid like scoring five goals in a Champions League opener.
So, as a result of a result which has sent Celtic’s hopes and aspirations sky rocketing, Brendan Rodgers must now find a way of getting heads out of clouds and feet back on the ground as he strives to underpin his club’s notoriously shaky credentials on the European stage.
Which, after all, is a very serious business indeed. The going rate for a win in UEFA’s freshly beefed up competition is around £1.76m.
And Rodgers has taken that cheque to the bank already on the back of a blistering opening night performance against Bratislava.
