Paris St Germain certainly won’t be Hamilton Accies or St Johnstone- they won’t even be Rosenborg or Astana.
On Tuesday night Celtic take on a side that are routinely in the knock out stages of the Champions League and usually there or thereabouts for the semi-finals. A bit like Bayern Munich.
Whether this season’s Champions League opponents are tougher than last year barely matters- on Tuesday night Brendan Rodgers will have to face up to a side with a £400m plus strike force with similar quality back-up.
With a makeshift back-four the task is much harder with memories still fresh of a back three going in against Barca last season with Cristian Gamboa making his debut in the Camp Nou.
Lessons have been learned with the clear message going out that Celtic won’t be standing off their opponents.
There may not be a Barry Robson type welcome on Christian Dailly but the French side will find a physical element to their opponents.
A lot will need to come right on the night but after last season’s turnaround the key phrase is ‘in Brendan we trust’.
This is the stage that the Irishman tests himself on, no Celtic side will be better briefed or go onto the park knowing exactly what is expected of them.
