The lucky 1,200 fans inside the ground made sure that they enjoyed the moment as Celtic trashed Anderlecht in the Brussels capital.
It’s been a long and painful journey since the last Champions League away win- including three trips to the Nou Camp- but as the goals flew in the pain, expense and Ryan Air Miles were all justified as Europe took a fresh look at Celtic.
After trips to Linfield, Rosenborg and Astana it was the real deal last night with Brendan Rodgers’ side building on the promise hinted at against Monchengladbach and Manchester City.

Going ahead through Leigh Griffiths was a rare treat to enjoy but it was the goal from Patrick Roberts that really raised the spirits and got the sing-song going.
The words of a famous old hymn were adapted slightly with This is the Day likely to bring a few smiles in chapels up and down the country just as hearing Give Me Joy in my Heart has for almost 20 years.
After getting mad with it last night the Brussels hangovers won’t be so painful as a 3-0 victory is recalled.
