On Saturday, in the first round of the Scottish Premiership, Glasgow heavyweights Celtic will face off against Ross County. Regarding the standings, the two teams couldn’t be more different; the visitors are now in first place. The Ross County vs Celtic match will kick off at noon UK Time.
Ross County came close to securing a significant victory against Hearts last weekend, but Lawrence Shankland managed to score a dramatic equaliser in the 96th minute.
The hosts will be without several key players for their upcoming clash, as George Harmon, Josh Reid, Max Sheaf, and Ricki Lamie are all sidelined due to injury. Nonetheless, all four are anticipated to return later this month.
Brendan Rodgers’ side entered the European stage with elevated expectations this season, particularly following an almost impeccable beginning to their domestic campaign. Nevertheless, their journey to Dortmund swiftly transformed into a disaster, as they discovered themselves trailing 5-1 by half-time, with two additional goals compounding their suffering in the second half.
The visitors will be missing Cameron Carter-Vickers, who sustained a toe injury late last month. Liam Scales and Auston Trusty are anticipated to remain at the core of the defence, which allowed seven goals during the midweek match.
