It gives the Hoops the opportunity to star in their version of Saturday Night Fever under the lights in Paisley and they will be hoping not to leave it as late as the 87th minute for the winning goal, as was the case at Parkhead on the opening league day of the season.
Luke McCowan was the man who unpicked the lock on that occasion.
