Celtic will be restricted to domestic football for the rest of the season after we exited the Champions League last month.
Between now and the end of May, Ange Postecoglou and his players will compete for the Premiership, Scottish Cup and League Cup, with plenty of defining matches on the horizon.
With a nine point lead currently in the league, most would see us as overwhelming favourites to lift a second successive title under Postecoglou.
Success in the Premiership will lead Celtic back to the Champions League proper, with another summer free of nerve-shredding qualifiers.
And participation in the group stage of UEFA’s premier competition will be extra significant next year.
With UEFA changing the format of the Champions League from 2024/25, next season will be the final of its kind with the 32 team group stage.
Our manager has spoken about the need for Celtic to be in the competition every single season.
The task to do so is simple: capitalise on our healthy Premiership lead and we’ll play in the final ever Champions League group phase.
In other news, Ange Postecoglou has suggested that Celtic could have more foreign trips in the pipeline
