The Hoops have won the Scottish Premiership after a 2-0 win over Hear𒊎ts earli✱er this week.
It is their second successive title under manager Ange Postecoglou and the 53rd in Celtic's history.
And up next are their biggest rivals in Rangers at Ibrox, where they may have to hold a guard of honour for the crowned champions.
Though considering the bad blood between the two teams, it remains to be seen whether Rangers will go ahead with the pre-match ceremony.
Speaking on talkSPORT, professional wind-up merchan𒀰t Brazil asked McCoist i𒀰f he would go ahead with the guard of honour.
The ex-Gers star replied on the Sports Breakfast🐎 show: &🧔quot;Well, what do you think?"

Brazil cheekily said: "I think it would bܫe a ♏great token..."
Through stifled laughter, McCoist retorted: "You know it's not happening, I know it's not happening. Move on to the next question!"
Trying to goad once more, Brazil saiඣd: "Co🐓me on, you spoil sport!"
But McCoist replied: "I tho🐟ught it was poor of you lot not to give us a guard of honour in 2021 when we stopped it [Celtic winning 10 in a row]. I thought it was poor from you lot, quite frankly."

Brazil, sensing himself backtracking, simply replied: &quoಞt;No... no," before moving onto the next question.
Celtic have been in unstoppable form this season and top the table by 13 points on 95 ahead of Rangers' 82.
When the two sides meet on Saturday, there is almost nothing to play for with Aberdeen placed t꧟hird on 53 points.
After winning the league, Hoops boss Postecoglou said: "I'm just really proud of this group of players and staff.
"They've maintained an absolutely ridiculous standard this year. They are relentless in their approach.
"Having success last year, you always worry as a manage📖r - are they going to be as hungry?
"From the first day, they haven't let up and it's a credit to every single one of them."
