    Ross County 1-2 Celtic

    Leigh Griffiths pings in a free-kick from near the left corner of the penalty area. It's right at Scott Fox but again the keeper has a wee fumble at it before getting the ball under control.

    Full-back Reghan Tumilty, who has done well on his first County start, is replaced by striker Alex Schalk.

    Christopher Routis is also ready to come on for the home side.

    Celtic are slowing things right down, stroking the ball around, with County not chasing with the same level of enthusiasm now.

    Patrick Roberts

    Does that count as three nutmegs?

    Patrick Roberts sticks the ball through the legs of Kenny van der Weg to cut into the box from the right, then his low, angled shot goes through the legs of Marcus Fraser and right through Scott Fox at his near post.

    A very poor effort from the keeper...

    Leigh Griffiths lets fly with a dipping shot from the edge of the box and Scott Fox gives the home fans a fright, fumbling before clutching the ball with a relieved puff of the cheeks.

    Celtic are seeing more of the ball again, stretching play from flank to flank, but County are packing men behind the ball and working ever so hard to close their opponents down.

    County are temporarily down to 10 men as a winded Liam Boyce is led off the field after a clattering challenge from Erik Sviatchenko.

    Michael Gardyne's first goal of the season - a fine header - has given Ross County a real lift. The hosts were not in the game at all before the interval.

    Celtic are struggling to find any fluency in their passing now, with skipper Scott Brown and Stuart Armstrong both guilty of giving the ball away cheaply.

    Ross County 1-1 Celtic

    Some tactical changes from Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.

    Moussa Dembele and Tom Rogic, both returning from injuries, are replaced by Leigh Griffiths and Cristian Gamboa.

    Looks like a traditional back four for the visitors now, with Gamboa taking over at right-back.

    Scott Sinclair works a crafty one-two with Moussa Dembele to surge into the County penalty area. Just when you think he's going to pull the trigger, he cuts back and slips, with the hosts able to scramble clear.

    County started this second half very positively and were rewarded for getting quality crosses in and crucially bodies in there to challenge.

    It was a fantastic header from Michael Gardyne, his first goal of the season, but now County might believe the best form of defence is attack. They're causing all sorts of problems now with Andrew Davies also going close.

    Results are pressing for County and they're pressing forward.

    Michael Gardyne does well to dig out a cross from near the corner flag on the right. Liam Boyce is well positioned at the near post but County's top scorer has a wild fresh air swipe, allowing Craig Gordon to snaffle the ball up.

    The home fans are finding their voice now as County win a couple of corners in quick succession.

    Craig Gordon gathers and Andrew Davies header from the second after an awkward clearance from Jozo Simunovic had given him a scare from the first.

    "What a header! He’s not known for his heading ability, Michael Gardyne. Ryan Dow and Kenny van der Weg worked the break really well, and it's a great cross from Dow. Ross County have started the second half really positively, they’ve pressed a lot higher up, and it’s just a fantastic header by Gardyne."

    Michael Gardyne

    Ryan Dow cuts back on to his right foot and delivers a fabulous cross from the left, with Michael Gardyne rising to meet it near the penalty spot and the midfielder's sharp header flies past Craig Gordon to go in off the underside of the crossbar.

    A top quality nod.

    The hosts are looking a bit livelier now as they snap into challenges much higher up the park.

    Celtic switch off from a throw-in and Ryan Dow has time and space to pick out a team-mate in the box. However, he can only float a dreadful cross into the arms of Craig Gordon.
