Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Celtic will look to recover from a heart-breaking Scottish Cup loss to Rangers when they face Ross County on Sunday. The Hoops are on the right track to regain the Premiership trophy, but they can’t afford any complacency in the remainder of the season. Fit-again attacker Kyogo Furuhashi should keep his place in the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
The Staggies, on the other hand, did well to beat Aberdeen thanks to Joseph Hungo’s goal. The 22-year-old defender is pushing for a start, while Kayne Ramsay is back from suspension. Even though goalkeeper Maynard-Brewer should be the only absentee in the home team, we are tempted to put our money on Celtic, who look unstoppable in 2022. In their last meeting at the venue the Hoops defeated the Staggies 2-1.

On March 19, 2015 Bolingoli-Mbombo produced one of the best performances of his career as he scored a brace against Besiktas in the Europa league last 16, helping Club Brugge make it to the quarter-finals of the European competition. The Belgian footballer, who is a cousin of Manchester United attacker Romelu Lukaku, has yet to earn a cap for the national team.
Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo’s main position is left winger, but he is used as a left back as well. In 2017 he moved to Rapid Vienna and he has been playing for the Austrian side ever since.
Highlighted Team (Celtic):
The Celtic Football Club boasts a proud over 100-year long history which has made The Bhoys a global brand thanks to their unprecedented social awareness that dates to the very beginnings of this Scottish club. Celtic was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow by raising money to help their fellow citizens.
The charity legacy continues to this day with Celtic still preserving their charitable traditions through the Celtic FC Foundation. The Celts play their home matches at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 people. One of the two most successful football clubs in Scotland with 47 Scottish League Championship titles to their name, Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, with the clubs known as the Old Firm.
European Cup winners from season 1966-67 and runners-up two years later, Celtic have been regular in European competitions since their first appearance in 1962-63. Their other most standout results have been runners-up in the EUFA Cup in 2003 and Intercontinental Cup in 1967.
