It is not just Celtic followers who'll be keen them on in Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-remaining with St Johnstone.
Individuals that guidance Hibernian, Dundee United, St Mirren - and maybe even the greater pessimistic Aberdeen lovers - may even be hoping Brendan Rodgers holders win for one very simple motive...
A last between Celtic and Aberdeen - whatever the final result - will imply the best five finishers in the Scottish Premiership are going to be assured Europe next year.
Why is?
The Scottish Cup winners earn a place in the Europa League Enjoy-off round, Along with the group that finishes 3rd within the Premiership heading into the second qualifying round.
Whoever is fourth, are going to be while in the equal stage with the Conference League.
Even so, if Celtic win the cup, almost everything shuffles down since they have by now clinched a place inside the Champions League qualifiers. Rangers will much too.
That means the Europa Engage in-off put - and also the certain 6-game Conference League marketing campaign that comes with it - goes to whoever finishes third while in the league.
Now, that is Hibs. But United and Aberdeen and St Mirren - albeit the arithmetic is massively from them - remain in the mix.
But even the clubs who overlook out on 3rd could however be rewarded.
Fourth spot might be upgraded from Meeting League to Europa League, with that Meeting spot intending to whoever finishes fifth.
St Johnstone, naturally, could scupper all this by using a 2nd victory about Celtic inside of per month.
Really should they are doing so, then possibly they or Aberdeen could stay up for at least 6 valuable game titles in the Meeting League occur the autumn.
