It's been a long time since the Champions League anthem boomed around Celtic Park for a group stage fixture.
Heartbreak in the qualifiers has become the order of the day in recent years for a club which once held a reputation for ruffling the feathers of Europe's very best.
Not since 2017 have Celtic taken a seat at the continent's top table but that's set to change next season.
Ange Postecoglou' s side stand on the brink of the Premiership title and a direct ticket to the group stage Scotland's coefficient now merits.
Should they sweep up the four points required to become champions, the very biggest of occasions will return to Glasgow's east end in September following UEFA's announcement on Monday that the Premiership winners' place is secure as Russian teams are, as expected, banned.
But who could the the champions elect be welcoming to Celtic Park?
With domestic campaigns still working to a conclusion across Europe, the final group stage participants are still some way from being finalised.
However, if we project from current league standings and assume the teams with the highest coefficient progress through the summer qualifiers, we can have a bit of fun with what might be.
Using the above parameters and with info from Swiss Football Data, here's how the pots for the group stage draw would look...
Pot 1 - Manchester City, RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, AC Milan, PSG, Porto, Ajax
Pot 2 - Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund
Pot 3 - RB Salzburg, Shakhtar Donetsk, Inter, Napoli, Benfica, Sporting, Dinamo Zagreb, Bayer Leverkusen
Pot 4 - Rangers, Red Star Belgrade, Marseille, Olympiakos, Copenhagen, Celtic, Freiburg, Union St. Gilloise
The likes of Manchester City, Liverpool, AC Milan and Inter are all guaranteed to make the groups but their seeding could change depending which sides come out on top in the Premier League and Serie A title races.
RB Leipzig make Pot 1 as coefficient rankings project they will win the Europa League, but that could well end up being West Ham, Eintracht Frankfurt or, of course, Rangers, who Celtic couldn't draw anyway as teams from the same county are kept apart.
Below are three potential outcomes for Postecoglou's side - a group of death, a most favourable scenario and a 'best of both' that brings a little bit of everything.
Group of death
Real Madrid, Liverpool, Inter, Celtic
A blood-curdling draw if there ever was one, the precariousness of Celtic's position in Pot 4 is laid bare with the potential for - if things pan out a certain way - being landed with the La Liga champions, Premier League runners-up, Serie A runners-up and possibly the winners of this season's Champions League if Real go all the way.
This outcome would be the ultimate test of Postecoglou's team but one you feel the Celtic manager would shrug off and take in his stride.
A meeting with Real Madrid has long been on the cards, they're one of the few European superpowers not to visit Celtic Park in the modern era and Liverpool haven't been back since being beaten in the UEFA Cup in 2003.
Inter gave Jurgen Klopp's side a run for their money in this season's last 16 and are a resurgent force who could yet become champions of Italy.
Most favourable
Ajax, Atletico Madrid, Dinamo Zagreb, Celtic
With Erik ten Hag off to Manchester United and the distinct possibility he could take a few of his best players with him, drawing Ajax might not be so bad if they are a club in transition.
Atletico may feel like an odd choice given their European pedigree but Diego Simeone's side have fallen well short in La Liga this season - and could yet be ousted from the Champions League places by Real Betis.
It'd certainly be a clash of football philosophies, too, and the thought of an amped-up Simeone playing pantomime villain to a hostile Glasgow crowd is an enticing one.
Dinamo Zagreb have only made the group stage twice since 2016 (where they lost all six matches) and it's no stretch to rate them at least a level below the other Pot 3 teams.
(Cliche alert) There are no easy groups in the Champions League but if you're a Celtic fan who craves the least treacherous draw then the above is arguably it.
Best of both?
Real Madrid, Arsenal, Dinamo Zagreb, Celtic
How about a touch of glamour, a fascinating subplot and a puncher's chance of reaching the knockout stage?
Real Madrid would bring a blockbuster to Celtic Park, no doubt. The Champions League's most successful club comes to life n the knockout stage but there have been a few early hiccups over the years that would offer Postecoglou's side increased hope of a famous result.
Real have been beaten by the likes of Sheriff Tiraspol, Shakhtar Donetsk and CSKA Moscow, as well as drawing with Club Brugge and Legia Warsaw, all in the past six seasons.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are an improving outfit under Mikel Arteta but prone to inconsistency. You could also argue their young squad would be among the more likely to wilt in the Celtic Park cauldron.
It's a tie that would also reunite Celtic and Kieran Tierney - the boyhood fanatic turning out against the club he loves, it would be guaranteed drama.
Throw in Zagreb, who Celtic would fancy taking points from, and you have all the ingredients for a memorable six fixtures.
