Tom Rogic is still basking in the afterglow of Celtic's Old Firm success but is under no illusion as to how big a test they will face against Barcelona on Tuesday night.
Brendan Rodgers' side head into the Champions League Group C opener at the Nou Camp on the back of a 5-1 win over Rangers on Saturday.
Hours later, a under-strength Barca suffered a shock 2-1 to newly-promoted Deportivo Alaves in La Liga.
However, the Australia midfielder knows that the Catalan giants will have all their top stars back for the visit of the Hoops.
He said: "They are one of the best sides in the world, we are aware of the quality they have individually and as a squad.
"Obviously it (Alaves defeat) wasn't ideal for them but they are a top side and they will want to bounce back so we are wary of that and ready for the challenge.
"We know it is going to be difficult but we are full of confidence at the moment and we have reasons to believe that we have qualities to get the result.
"We performed well at the weekend and momentum has been building for some time. We are in a good place at the moment and we are ready to come here.
"It is something to look forward to and enjoy.
"Nights like tomorrow night is why we play football. It will be a special occasion."
