Tom Boyd believes Anthony Ralston and Greg Taylor can shine for Celtic in the Champions League this season.
Ange Postecoglou's men are back in Europe's premier competition after recapturing the Scottish Premiership crown from Rangers last term.
Winning the league secured direct entry to the tournament proper with Celtic set to go up against the best players and teams from across Europe.
Boyd is in no doubt the Scotland international duo can show up well under the lights at Parkhead as the Hoops hero hailed the special occasions.

He said: “Can Greg surprise a few people in the Champions League?
“Well, that will be his aim. He’s now playing international football. I wouldn’t imagine the Champions League is too different to that as you are facing some of the best players in the world there, too.
“Admittedly, some teams might have more than most due to the quality, but as he has progressed and Anthony has progressed, the next level is the Champions League. After playing in the Europa League, this is now the top echelon.
“You want to get there and test yourself there, so I’m sure Greg or Anthony or whoever else is in there will want to get play and be a part of it because there are magnificent nights at Celtic.

“Whoever has been there and or has played in them will back that notion that Celtic Park nights are really special on those occasions.”
Ralston has transformed his Celtic fortunes in the last 12 months and is now a first-team star under Postecoglou.
His early season form was rewarded with a bumper long-term deal while Steve Clarke has handed him caps for the Scotland national team.
Boyd reckons the full-back is an inspiration for other players as he heaped huge praise on the defender for his displays last term.
On Ralston, he added: “Absolutely outstanding.
“He is in there on merit in terms of what we are seeing. That is him in competition with Josip Juranovic. It is no mean feat to be able to keep him out at times.
"I know Juranovic goes to left back on occasion, but he did that at the start. It is that squad game now.
“Anthony has put himself in a position to be considered a first team player with the manager and that is all down to the faith the manager has in Anthony, giving him belief.
“But it is also Anthony’s attitude and what he has done to get to that position. Everybody was writing him off a few years ago. He was out on loan and it wasn’t working.
"He has come back in and whatever has clicked for him, whether it is more dedication or whatever, he has improved dramatically.
“So much so that he would be in the starting line-up and nobody would bat an eyelid. It is absolutely fantastic for Anthony what he has done.
"He is maybe an inspiration for other players who maybe fall by the wayside.”
