Celtic's stunning 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig was good enough, but now it's emerged they are within touching distance of some incredible Champions League milestones.
The Hoops have picked up seven points from a possible 12 during their opening four games after beating the Germans, Slovan Bratislava and drawing in Bergamo with Atalanta.
There are 32 teams in total playing in the group stages with eight dropping out after the first eight games.
Teams finishing between ninth and 24th go into a play-off to make the last 16 while the top eight instantly qualify for that section.

Brendan Rodgers' team only needs three points from their next four games to reach the play-off, a situation that would have been seen as a major result before a ball was kicked.
But the real prize would be to qualify with the big guns in the top eight.
And, while things could change based on results, it's likely that another three wins would be enough to guarantee that.
A reminder. One more win needed for top 24 spot. Three for the top 8 (😉) pic.twitter.com/o9zZkM7oym

Looking at the remaining games at home to Club Brugge and Young Boys and away games against Dinamo Zagreb and Aston Villa there's little for Celtic to fear.
And with Nicolas Kuhn and co. playing with real attacking verve, Rogers and his men will surely think they can make an even bigger impact in the matches ahead.
