    Let's credit Ross County. They went there with a game plan, they got it spot on and got the balance of defence and attack. It was comfortable in the end. For Celtic, I think it will be really difficult for Neil Lennon to hang on to his job now

  2. Third shock for County over Celticpublished at 16:00 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2020

    FT: Celtic 0-2 Ross County

    County have twice before enjoyed sensational cup wins over Celtic.

    Those were in semi-finals. This has fewer implications for the visitors, but this will surely have greater ramifications for Celtic.

    Celtic rarely looked like coming back from Ross Stewart's first-half penalty and Alex Iacovitti's second-half header was icing on the cake as County ended their own run of poor results.

  3. FULL-TIME Celtic 0-2 Ross Countypublished at 15:53 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2020

    It's all over for Celtic.

    It's all over for their strangehold on Scottish silverware.

    It's all over for their hopes of lifting the League Cup for a fifth consecutive time.

    It's all over for a run of 35 victories in domestic cup ties.

    Is it all over for Neil Lennon in his second spell as Celtic manager?

    He's had an unbelievable game Ross Stewart. Really clever. I've been really impressed with him

    There remains an amazing lack of urgency from the home side despite being two goals down with only two minutes left

    These are supposedly quality players sending looping long balls into the box for the goalkeeper to come and take the pressure off his team

    Time is rapidly running out for Celtic. Four minutes of stoppage time, but you can't see this side in this form scoring once never mind twice.

  9. Mckay for Patonpublished at 88mins

    Celtic 0-2 Ross County

    County make a change that is likely just to waste time.

    Striker Billy Mckay on for midfielder Harry Paton.

  10. Klimala for Rogicpublished at 86mins

    Celtic 0-2 Ross County

    Patryk Klimala is on for Tom Rogic, but surely it is not enough time for the Polish striker to make a difference.

    It was just a bank of Celtic defenders standing and watching. - and Vasilis Barkas no chance in the Celtic goal. Desperate situation for Celtic

    Alex Iacovitti

    Celtic look to be heading out of the League Cup - their first domestic cup defeat in four years.

    Iain Vigurs' corner is flicked on at the front post and centre-half Alex Iacovitti heads down and past goalkeeper Vasilas Barkas from six yards.

  13. YELLOW CARD Duffy (Celtic)published at 82mins

    Celtic 0-1 Ross County

    Shane Duffy makes his mark - but not in the way manager Neil Lennon would want.

    The centre-half's clumsy challenge on Ross Stewart leads to a booking.

  15. Duffy for Elhamedpublished at 79mins

    Celtic 0-1 Ross County

    Shane Duffy is sent on for Hatem Abd Elhamed.

    The big Republic of Ireland centre-half will no doubt be a target for any set-pieces.

    Celtic 0-1 Ross County

    The pressure is mounting, Celtic are becoming more desperate and Odsonne Edouard should do better than lash just over the bar with a drive on the turn from 12 yards.

  17. Postpublished at 76mins

    Celtic 0-1 Ross County

    Scott Brown finds Mohamed Elyounoussi with a clever ball behind the County defence, but the winger's volley across the face of goal is too strong and the visitors clear the danger.

  18. Randall for Reidpublished at 75mins

    Celtic 0-1 Ross County

    As expected, County boss Stuart Kettlewell makes a change, with Connor Randall replacing the injured Josh Reid in defence.

    The double change had to happen. I don't know what they'll do, go to a back four and one through the middle? Elyounnoussi playing on the left - that will hopefully allow them to have more one-on-one situations. It'll be interesting to see what Ross County do now to nullify that

    Josh Reid is struggling for County and needs treatment.

    The left wing-back delivered the cross that led to the goal but is hobbling about at the moment.
