    Ross County 0-0 Celtic

    Celtic have their and the game's first corner. David Turnbull delivers but it is headed clear.

    A throw-in on the opposite side, the right, eventually leads to an Anthony Ralston cross but again Ross County hold firm.

    I think he should score.

    It's a wonderful delivery, and I think Jordan White will be annoyed with himself.

    Ross County 0-0 Celtic

    An early push from Ross County.

    Victor Loturi's whipped cross is attacked by Simon Murray, who cannot make contact and Jordan White nods wide.

    Celtic almost caught cold.

    Ross County v Celtic (12:30)

    Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers tells Sportsound: "Malky [Mackay] has done a fantastic job with Ross County and they have shown they are a goal threat, but we really need to focus on ourselves, make sure we have that intensity and cohesion.

    "Players coming in can bring an energy to the game, that's important after all the games we've had. It's about sustaining the performance level.

    "Today gives us a chance to refresh the squad and it's an opportunity for me to see some of them."

    Cameron Carter-Vickers (pictured) is back in the Celtic starting line-up today after missing the midweek win over St Mirren. It has been a stop-start season so far for the American defender.

  7. County must have confidence to attack - Mackaypublished at 12:23 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2023

    Ross County v Celtic (12:30)

    Ross County manager Malky Mackay tells Sportsound: "We did well on the road but it's good to be back on home soil again. This is a tough game and we're ready to go.

    "We'll need discipline and concentration. We need to be patient out of possession because Celtic will have a lot of the ball. At the same time, we need to make sure we have the confidence to go and attack.

    "If you just sit in a low block all game, you are just waiting on Celtic beating you. There has to be a balance."

    Yan Dhanda is technically outstanding.

    He looks slight, but he's more resilient than people give him credit for. Could he play for better teams in the Premiership? Absolutely, but he's found his place at County.

    When he gets on the ball you always think something is going to happen.

  9. 'We're going to need everyone'published at 12:18 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2023

    Ross County v Celtic (12:30)

    Ross County manager Malky Mackay tells Sky Sports:"There won't be a change of style we're playing against today. We're still playing against very good players.

    "Eamonn Brophy had two games in a row, and the amount of running he's done is immense.

    "We're going to need everyone today, the energy and application. Subs-wise, we've got a better bench [than we did], challenging for starting spots, which is what you need."

    The one thing about County this season is that they've got real firepower.

    They will need to tighten up at the back, but they can definitely cause Celtic problems.

  11. Rest day for Kyogo?published at 12:13 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2023

    Ross County v Celtic (12:30)

    Kyogo Furuhashi has perhaps been rested by Celtic today with Tuesday's Champions League game against Atletico Madrid in mind.

    Of course, he could still have an impact today from the bench.

  12. 'Good opportunity' for Oh - Rodgerspublished at 12:10 Greenwich Mean Time 4 November 2023

    Ross County v Celtic (12:30)

    Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers tells Sky Sports: "Some of the players have played a lot of games and it's a busy period through to January, so we have to [make changes]."

    On Oh Hyeon-gyu, who starts, Rodgers added: "He's played before from the start, so it's not new for him. He's trained very well, been unfortunate he hasn't played more, and it's a good opportunity for him.

    "Malky's teams are very well organised and you've seen this season that they are a goal threat. We have to play with speed and look to create opportunities."
