Celtic will welcome Ross County to Celtic Park for a Scottish Premiership matchday 23 clash on Saturday (January 27th).
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a comfortable 5-0 thrashing of Buckie Thistle in the Scottish Cup last weekend. Paulo Bernardo, Odin Holm, Kyogo Furuhashi, Luis Palma and Rocco Vata all found the back of the net to help the Bhoys qualify for the next round.
Brendan Rodgers' side will turn their focus back to the league, where their last game saw them claim a 3-0 away victory over St. Mirren.
Ross County, meanwhile, fell to a 3-0 defeat at home to Partick Thistle in the Scottish Cup. Brian Graham, Scott Robinson and Stuart Bannigan all scored to help the visitors qualify. Ross County's last league game ended in a 3-0 defeat at home to Aberdeen.
The defeat left them in 11th spot in the league, having garnered 18 points from 19 games. Celtic still lead the way at the summit of the table with 54 points to show for their efforts in 22 games.
