Beaming Brendan Rodgers opened his post match press conference by joking Celtic are already in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich.
But the Parkhead boss and punters would probably just be happy with a place in the play off round to extend their journey in Uefa's premier competition beyond the league phase - and the stats men have told the Hoops the points tally they are likely to need to progress.
Celtic opened their campaign with an emphatic 5-1 rout of Slovan Bratislava - and the Scottish Premiership champions now have high hopes of securing a top 24 spot and a play-off place as a minimum from the revamped competition.
It will be a tougher test next time out as they travel to Bundesliga heavyweights Borussia Dortmund after smashing the Slovakian champions - but over all they landed one of the kinder draws for the league phase.
