For 90 minutes on Friday night, all the niceties are out the window.
For 90 minutes, Stephen Ward is just an Irish man with a job to do.
He won't care about his good relationship with old Wolves team mate Steven Fletcher or even the fact the pair have been texting back and forward this week ahead of Friday night's clash in Celtic Park.
He spoke to the press at Malahide before the Republic departed for Glasgow and he is looking forward to the challenge of stifling the Scots.
