Match preview

Celtic's ten-in-a-row juggernaut moves north to the Highlands and it's hard to see Ross County preventing a comprehensive Hoops win.

Neil Lennon's side breezed past Rennes in midweek to comfortably win their Europa League group with a game to spare and the manager even had the luxury of taking off Scott Brown, Ryan Christie and James Forrest to keep them fresh for the long trip to Dingwall.

The importance of not just winning in a tight Ladbrokes Premiership, but of banging in as many goals as possible, means there will be plenty of thumpings this season against the Old Firm.

And County are on a poor enough run as it is without welcoming Celtic.

Key stat

Celtic are going for their tenth win in a row in all competitions against a County side who have collected just two points out of a possible last 18.
