Ross County vs Celtic match Analysis and Prediction

Celtic will be looking to make it two victories from two in the Scottish Premiership when they travel to Victoria Park to face Ross County in their Matchday 2 tie on Saturday evening.

Celtic are the current champions having beaten their arch rivals Rangers to the title last term by four points, and they started their defence of the title with a comfortable 2-0 win over Aberdeen last Sunday.

The opening day success saw the champions extend their exceptional unbeaten run in the top-flight to 33 matches, a sequence that stretches all the way back to last September.

Ange Postecoglou’s side will now look to further strengthen the feel-good factor within the Parkhead camp when they head to the Highlands to face Ross County this weekend. They are the clear favorites to walk away with all three points.

Meanwhile Ross County who finished sixth in the Premiership last term, started their new campaign on the back foot as they fell to a 2-1 away defeat to Hearts last Saturday.

Returning home this weekend, Ross County will look to get their campaign up and running as they hope for a similar top-half finish this season. However, getting three points off the champions, who have won at Victoria Park in their last two visits, could prove to be a bit much for the Staggies.
