Ross County vs Celtic Previews, Form and Players to Watch

Ross County are unbeaten since Christmas, having won three and drawn one of their four matches. Most recently they beat Kilmarnock away from home 1-0, an excellent result considering how close the two teams are in the table.

Celtic were beaten for the first time in the league this season against Rangers on the 2nd. They bounced back at the weekend with a 3-0 win over St Mirren. The game against Rangers was a strange one, as they were well beaten despite the difference between them in the league. Three of Celtic’s seven conceded this season were in that match against Rangers.

Ross County Predicted Lineup - Jordan Amissah; Connor Randall, Kacper Lopata, Akil Wright; George Harmon, Josh Nisbet, Nohan Kenneh, Jack Grieves, James Brown; Noah Chilvers; Jordan White

Ross County might make a few changes from the side that won at the weekend considering the amount of football that the players have played over the Christmas period, but Don Cowie won’t want to make too many drastic changes to a winning side. Wing-back George Harmon scored the only goal against Kilmarnock to mark his first for the season, while Noah Chilvers has been excellent for large parts of the campaign.

Celtic Predicted Lineup - Kasper Schmeichel; Greg Taylor, Auston Trusty, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Alistair Johnston; Arne Engles, Callum McGregor, Luke McCowan; Daizen Maeda, Adam Idah, Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn

Celtic are going to win the league. Rangers’ most recent slip up all but confirms it, as they are now 13 points behind the runaway leaders despite their win over them last week. It has been quite an incredible season from them, especially defensively as they have conceded just seven times in 20 games.

Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn is the name on the lips of all Scottish football fans at the moment after he scored twice against St Mirren at the weekend. Brendan Rodgers has said that there is more to come from him this season despite already scoring nine goals and registering six assists in 17 appearances.
