For the third match in a row, Ange Postecoglou emerged at the end of the game smiling with a clenched fist in the air.
Suddenly, victory is becoming a habit for the Aussie manager as his team begin to form in the manner he always intended.
And a performance of controlled, attacking football with goals from James Forrest and a double from David Turnbull will have done little to dull the growing sense this is a Celtic team and coach who are going places.
Here's what Postecgoglou had to say in his dealings with the media after the 3-0 win.
Ange to Premier Sport: “The emotion was incredible.
“I guess both on the park and more importantly, off the park. The fans created something special.
"We fed off the energy in the stadium “We’ve got a really heavy schedule to maintain this sort of intensity, and a full house in here certainly helps us.
“We’ve got to be a team who shows no fear, tries to play our football and dictate the game.
“It’s not easy to do to be fair, and I do put a lot of responsibility and expectation on the players to do that, but the other side of it is you get great rewards if you’re prepared to be brave.
“It’s part of who we want to be. These last few games we’ve got great rewards from it.”
Ange is in no doubt here that the Celtic fans inside Paradise can play a vital role in helping his side succeed this season. He is well aware that the support can lift his men to extraordinary heights. The use of the line, "we've got a really heavy schedule to maintain this sort of intensity, and a full house crowd in here certainly helps us" is interesting. This is the Aussie's way of asking the supporters to immediately buy into his philosophy and get behind his men in what they are trying to do. Ange has introduced a new system to the players who like the supporters are still getting to grips with it all. The 55-year-old has no intention of wavering from his methods. The use of the words, "no fear, dictate the game and great rewards" will be music to the Celtic supporter's ears but the boss is also urging caution. Whilst his charges will make mistakes he insists that if everybody is singing from the same hymn sheet - players, management, supporters alike - then things will gradually improve moving forward. However, the keyword in the quotes is 'brave'. Ange is firing a warning shot over the bow by saying that he trusts the players to be brave in carrying out his instructions to the letter and the supporters will also need to be courageous and accept the brand new dawn. After all, this is Ange's brave new Celtic team and part "of who we want to be."
Ange to BBC Sportsound: “I said at the weekend, I didn’t feel like we were struggling before then, so you try and keep an even keel and focus on the performances.
"Equally I’m not getting carried away now, we are only just beginning. Players are only just starting to understand the game that we want to play.
"Of course wins and good performances build belief, for sure, and that’s what we want to keep doing, but we are far from the finished article.
“We were disappointed when we dropped out of the Champions League and now we’ve got a chance to stay and compete in the Europa League.
“It’s a tough ask against a good quality opponent in AZ, but we want to be in the competitions that we qualify for.
"I like seeing it as a game to game thing and there has to be more in us because we have only literally had three or four weeks together as a group."
Here the manager is attempting to dampen some of the enthusiasm and excitement coursing through the veins of the Celtic supporters right now. He is urging everybody connected with the club to keep a level head and retain their focus on the season that lies ahead. The key phrase is, "Equally I'm not getting carried away now, we are only just beginning". Celtic may have won three games in a row but for Ange, nothing has been achieved yet and his side's feet should remain planted firmly on the ground. He also adds a touch of realism by serving up a gentle reminder that his side disappointingly crashed out of the Champions League. Despite a gradual improvement in Celtic's performances of late, he's is well aware that his men can be brought back down to earth as they were against FC Midtjylland and Hearts. The Australian really appears to be the most pragmatic of coaches and whilst he is measuring and charting the club's progress on a game-by-game basis he is also signalling a message to the Celtic fans to curb their enthusiasm and not make any snap judgements wild or otherwise just yet. The Australian is a man at work and his team are a work in progress.
Ange to Written Press: "I would like it, that’s the honest answer and we’ll certainly try.
“What I like and what can happen in the reality of that is different.
“We’re working awfully hard, I guarantee you.
"Not a moment goes past, off the field the whole club’s working hard to make sure we can do it.
“I’ve just got to temper that by saying we’ve done really well with the ones we’ve brought in so far.
“They’ve added something to this football club.
“I want to resist bringing players in just for the sake of it.
“Part of the issue is mine, I’m selective with the players I want to bring in.
"I’m certainly pushing to get bodies in.
“There’s been plenty of names bandied about but for us, it hasn’t been about us having one target.

“We know that in the current climate some things take longer than others and we’ve just got to be really patient and diligent in our work.
“Once players are signed then I’m happy to talk about them but the speculation in terms of who we may or may not be interested in - if you look at it from when I started - I’d have had a squad of 73 by now and I don’t have that.”
Ange once again is subtly reminding the Celtic CEO and the hierarchy that he still needs players to come into the club for what he is trying to achieve. However, he is also spelling it out to supporters in no uncertain terms that a massive cash splurge before the transfer window bangs shut in August may or may not materialise in saying, "What I like and what can happen in the reality of that is different." Ange is also being honest and upfront by saying that he is actively seeking to bring the right and proper players into the club and that he seeks quality over quantity. The use of the phrase, “I want to resist bringing players in just for the sake of it. Part of the issue is mine, I’m selective with the players I want to bring in" also shows the hand of Ange is now over every piece of transfer business. New players coming into the club must fit his criteria and constitute what he deems to be a Celtic player moving forward.
