    "During the warm-up, Celtic substitute Leigh Griffiths juggles the ball in the centre circle and looks like he's going to attempt to beat his personal best before volleying off to a team-mate.

    "How the Scotland striker would love to be able to show off those type of skills at Celtic Park this afternoon after several weeks on the bench."

    "If Ross County can get past the first 20 minutes unscathed, they will then look to the confidence they gained last week and we will be in for a really good Highland derby."

    Inverness have won the last two Highland derbies, but Ross County were victorious on their last visit to Caledonian Stadium - 2-1 in January.

    Who will come out top when the match kicks off in about seven minutes time?

    Ross County ended a run of four straight defeats when they finally won their first league win of the season last weekend against Dundee.

    However, they haven't even had a sniff of a point in their four Premiership treks south this season.

    Inverness have stumbled in recent weeks, losing three of their last four outings, but those reverses came away from Caledonian Stadium, where they are aiming for a fourth straight victory.

    Hamilton arrive at Celtic Park intent on protecting an impressive nine-game unbeaten run since losing their opening Premiership game of the season at home to Inverness.

    Accies are unbeaten in their last six away games, stretching into last season.

    Celtic haven't hit top form yet this season, but Accies still face an almighty task to leave Glasgow with even a point.

    The home side are eyeing their fourth straight victory and are unbeaten in their last seven outings.

    However, they have already lost to Legia Warsaw and Maribor at home this season - and been held to a draw by struggling Motherwell, so there is a chink of light there for Accies.

  11. Celtic manager Ronny Deila on BBC Radio Scotlandpublished at 12:31 British Summer Time 5 October 2014

    "Ross County are coming up with a lot of confidence, are used to winning and a have lot of energy and nothing to lose.

    "I am impressed with what they're doing and we will be in for a hard match today.

    "Guidetti could not play in the Europa League and he has been doing well and is hungry so comes back in.

    "We have gone six games without losing and we want that to continue."

  12. Ross County manager Jim McIntyre on BBC Radio Scotlandpublished at 12:30 British Summer Time 5 October 2014

    "Derbies are always special and, first and foremost, you have to win your individual battles.

    "We have to play with our heads.

    "Any win gives you a boost in confidence and we have to build on that.

    "Gardyne has failed a fitness test, so we have brought Boydy into the heart of the defence - but it'll be the same system."

  13. Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager John Hughes on BBC Radio Scotlandpublished at 12:29 British Summer Time 5 October 2014

    "These boys deserve another chance after the defeat by Aberdeen. They've been outstanding.

    "We know it's important for the bragging rights. We want to play the game in the right manner.

    "If we have to go toe to toe and we win it 1-0, I'll take the three points.

    "It's a derby match, so put where we are in the league and where they are out the window.

    "But we're at home and we want to get at them. It's up to us to put a show on.

    "I didn't do a team talk. All the work is done. We worked very hard on the training pitch this week."

  14. Hamilton Academical manager Alex Neil on BBC Radio Scotlandpublished at 12:27 British Summer Time 5 October 2014

    "We'll have to be at our best to get anything. The team has done exceptionally well in the last few weeks so we're unchanged.

    "We'll play the young boys, there is no fear.

    "The chairman says to me to set them out and make sure they know what they're doing.

    "If you give youth a chance, they can show how good they can be.

    "We've been good in terms of how we've approached games. We've scored 15 goals and conceded only five, the least in the league.

    "We're on the front foot throughout the game."

    Should Celtic win today and would move to within two points of the top of the table, they would then have a game in hand, against Partick Thistle, in order to restore what has become the natural order of things in Scotland's top flight in recent seasons.

    "Hamilton Academical may not have won at Celtic Park since 1938, but Alex Neil's side make the short trip to Glasgow's east end buoyed by an excellent start to the season. Accies are second in the Premiership with 17 points from a possible 24.

    "Celtic's confidence is also up after claiming their first Europa League Group D win over Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday evening.

    "Victory for Ronny Deila's men would take them level with Hamilton and also extend the reigning champions' winning run to four in all competitions."

    Like Caley Thistle, Hamilton Accies are unchanged, while Celtic make one change with striker John Guidetti replacing winger Aleksandar Tonev. Manchester City replaces Aston Villa there, with the on-loan duo swapping places.

    The team news from the Highland derby is that Inverness manager John Hughes names an unchanged side, while counterpart Jim McIntyre has made only one change - Scott Boyd replacing forward Michael Gardyne.
