Celtic moved yet another step closer to reclaiming the Premiership title on Sunday.
A trip to Ross County widely billed as a potential banana skin was comfortably navigated following the disappointment of losing last weekend's Scottish Cup semi-final to Rangers.
Ange Postecoglou dismissed the notion his side needed to regain momentum in the wake of their Hampden woe after watching goals from Kyogo and Jota keep the title dream well on track.
It was a victory that restored Celtic's six point advantage over their city rivals with four matches left to play.
The league trophy has moved tantalisingly close and could effectively all be over by next Sunday evening.
Celtic will host Rangers knowing that victory will extend the gap to nine points with only nine left to play for.
And when you factor in Celtic's hugely superior goal difference - they are 19 clear of the current champions - that functions almost like an extra point for Postecoglou's team.
Should they beat Rangers, Celtic would simply need to avoid defeat at home to Hearts on May 7 to achieve the mathematical certainty that would put the green and white ribbons on the trophy.
If the gap remains at six following the derby, a win against Hearts would effectively clinch it but official confirmation would then rest upon not losing at Tannadice, the venue Celtic surrendered the title last season, on May 11.
And, of course, this assumes Rangers do not drop any more points.
The question on fans' minds at Ibrox, meanwhile, will be 'how can we put a stop to it?'
The answer is much of it is now out of their hands. Yes, a win at Celtic Park would put the heat back on their rivals but it would still require a collapse reminiscent of Devon Loch.
Celtic would then be required to stumble twice in their final two fixtures to allow Rangers to overtake their points tally as simply drawing level won't do given the goal difference disparity.
It's a tall order for Giovanni van Bronckhorst 's side, who did all they could this weekend with a 3-1 win away at Motherwell, despite being reduced to 10 men in the first half.
That cup win over their rivals at the national stadium will fuel belief they can pile on the pressure, however, and it's all set to be a monumental afternoon in Glasgow's east end.
