Ross County, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Livingston will not have sat easily with the Ross County squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 46% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Livingston who had 14 attempts and 7 on target.
Manager Malky Mackay will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Finding the net regularly has been an issue for them in their home stadium, with zero goals scored in 3 of their last 6 matches. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
Goalscorer Eamonn Brophy will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Ross County.
Celtic, Recent FormCeltic will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-1 win in their home outing against Hibernian. They came away from that fixture with a 79% share of the possession and clocked up 35 attempts on goal with 9 on target, in comparison to Hibernian, who managed 3 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
With 22 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Ange Postecoglou will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 4 goals in the same period. Their ongoing goal scoring streak now stands at 22 games in a row. Away from home, they have become reasonably solid at the back with 3 clean sheets in their last 6 away outings.
They are showing impressive league form with a run of 9 straight wins in a row and are also unbeaten in their last 22 games.
On an individual basis, Kyogo Furuhashi will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 20 goals in Celtic's 29 league games this season.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 2-1 win for Celtic.
The Bhoys will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Ross County, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 6 meetings between the two. In the previous 5 matches between these sides, Celtic have shown they know their way around The Staggies defence having scored 13 times against them in those 5 matches.
Celtic will be looking to continue their winning streak against Ross County having won in their last 6 meetings in the league.
Celtic player Liel Abada has scored 2 times in the previous 3 matches against Ross County away at Global Energy Stadium in the league and will be looking for more of the same in this match.
Ross County manager Malky Mackay has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ben Paton (Knee), Ben Purrington (Ankle) and Jordan Tillson (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only James Forrest (Muscle) and James McCarthy (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ange Postecoglou will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
