Brendan Rodgers knows he is within touching distance of his first main goal as Celtic manager ahead of the Champions League play-off second leg at Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
The Scottish champions overcame a second-half wobble to close out a thrilling 5-2 victory in last week's initial encounter at Parkhead, taking a significant step towards a first appearance in the group stages of Europe's premier competition since 2013.
Rodgers was installed as Ronny Deila's successor in May and the former Liverpool boss has had his sights trained on progress to the Champions League proper ever since.
"It has been our number one objective from the first day we started," he said.
"We spoke about it as a team and a squad. We looked at various goals and targets throughout the season and to make the Champions League was clearly one of those as it was one of the first that would come across us.
"So to lead Celtic into the Champions League would be a great honour and privilege. I know the managers before me who I spoke to said their first qualifying campaign was difficult for them, but for us we have put in an awful lot of work and we have two hands on the prize and a tight grip on it as well.
