For Celtic fans, it ends a five year wait. And for Ange Postecoglou it will be his first taste of managing against the best club football has to offer in the Champions League group stage.
And it doesn't get any better than the current champions, Real Madrid. The Hoops legions have been waiting patiently with their diaries at the ready following Thursday's draw in Istanbul.
Now the scramble for tickets, flights and accommodation is well and truly on after UEFA confirmed the dates with Celtic in Group F alongside the Spanish giants, last season's Europa League semi finalists RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk. Celtic start with a home match with Real Madrid before playing Shakhtar in Warsaw. They are then away to RB Leipzig in the first of a double header with the Germans. Then it's Shakhtar at Celtic Park before the group concludes with a trip to the Bernabeu.
Check out the full fixture list below.
