Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Following a routine 2-0 win over Dundee United, Celtic will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Ross County on Matchday 23. The Hoops are leading the chase for their 55th Premiership title, but boss Brendan Rodgers must warn his men against complacency. Reo Hatate is pushing for a start after sealing the victory as a substitute against the Terrors as well as his compatriot Kyogo Furuhashi. James Forrest remains in the recovery room.
The Staggies, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Aberdeen and Kilmarnock in the previous two league matches. Ross County are undefeated in the last four Premier League games, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Saturday’s encounter. Ross County, though, are on a 13-game losing run against Celtic in all competitions, which is probably the main reason why away win should be considered. Wales forward Alex Samuel should be the only absentee in the home team.
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.
