It might have been a run of the mill Scottish Cup win over lower division opposition but for one young Celtic fan it was very much a Red Letter Day.
Dad seemed almost as excited as his bhoy who raced up the steps to look out across the vast stadium for the very first time.
Whether it is Real Madrid or Greenock Morton it is still Celtic Park with a magic and special thrill that is hard to nail down and define.
From an early age kids pick up on the significance of going to the match, the family rituals, where Dad goes, what he watches on the telly, the whole atmosphere, the mix of emotions, the significance and importance of the going to the game.
