Martin O'Neill hit a special milestone in Celtic's Europa League play-off with Stuttgart.
The Northern Irishman marked his 1,000 competitive game in management but the landmark fixture is not living up to the occasion as his side trailed 2-1 at the interval.
Benjamin Nygren had drawn the Bhoys level midway through the first half before Bilal El Khannouss doubled his tally for the Bundesliga outfit within a matter of minutes.
And the omens suggest that O'Neill's big night will end in disappointment based on the hosts' record this season after previously heading in at half-time behind.
It does look gloomy but Celtic Park could still see a turn up for the books.
Three is the magic number after all!
