Leigh Griffiths made his goal-scoring return to the Celtic starting XI on Wednesday and the fans are delirious with excitement.
The striker notched the third in the 5-0 demolition of Nomme Kalju in the second round of the Champions League qualifiers at Parkhead, and he did it in emphatic fashion.
His stunning free-kick was followed up by strikes from Callum McGregor and Ryan Christie, after Kristoffer Ajer and Christie had opened the scoring.
Griffiths spent the second half of the last campaign out of action, opting instead to take some time away from the never-ending intensity of professional football to focus on his mental health.
And the 28-year-old looks set for a fine season on his return, scoring goals aplenty in pre-season before bagging his first competitive strike of the campaign on Wednesday.
Interestingly, the former Hibs man partnered Odsonne Edouard up-front in a 3-5-2 formation for the Celts. This could be an intriguing tactical switch from Neil Lennon, who preferred a 4-2-3-1 in his temporary spell in charge of the club at the tail end of last season.
No one is focused on the tactical tweak at the moment though, as fans are simply ecstatic to see their goalscoring machine back in full flight…
