Ross County haven’t had any problems with scoring, finding the back of the net in each and every one of their last 6 games.

They have managed to rack up 13 during that period and have conceded a total of 5. Putting that to one side, we’ll just have to find out whether that trend will be maintained here in this game or not.

• haven't won against Celtic in their previous 4 league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Ross County

Alex Samuel (Surgery) and William Akio (Knee Injury) will not be able to play for Ross County manager Malky Mackay.

We are thinking that The Staggies look set to kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game and select Ross Laidlaw, Connor Randall, Jack Baldwin, Alex Iacovitti, Ben Purrington, Ross Callachan, Jordan Tillson, Josh Sims, Dominic Samuel, Owura Edwards and Jordi Hiwula.

📋 Team News: Celtic

Due to a fully healthy group to pick from, the Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou does not have any fitness worries at all ahead of this match.

It’s our belief that The Bhoys could decide to play in a 4-3-3 lineup using Joe Hart, Josip Juranovic, C. Carter-Vickers, Stephen Welsh, Greg Taylor, Reo Hatate, Callum McGregor, Matt O'Riley, Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi and Jota.

We believe that Ross County will surely be able to get a goal against this Celtic outfit, although just one goal likely won’t be enough.

We can see a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 winning margin for Celtic at the end of the 90 minutes. Expecting it to be very competitive.
