Brendan Rodgers has made three changes to the Celtic side that lost to Borussia Dortmund for today’s match at Ross County.
Greg Taylor drops out through injury with Alex Valle taking his place, further forward Paulo Bernardo and Kyogo Furuhashi drop down to the bench with Reo Hatate and Adam Idah returning to the Starting XI.
After spectacularly losing their 100% record for the season the focus will firmly be on Rodgers’ side today to make it seven SPFL wins on the bounce to start the season.
Ross County have had a steady start to the season, going into today’s match on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Hearts where a stoppage time goal from Lawrence Shankland denied them full points.
A win will put Celtic three points ahead of Aberdeen who play Hearts at 3pm today, following the international break the Dons travel to face Celtic on October 19.

Taylor not even on the bench…
Is he injured – And if so Does anyone know what type of injury it is and how long he’ll be out for !
Half-time…and I’m on to say…
YES our keeper moved too early and YES a retake was the right decision.
BUT
Last week…Sevco’s keeper move too early against Hibs…and what happened ?
Yep…FECK ALL as usual.
The game is so rigged here…yet Silence is Golden.
Under pressure……..we’ll sort it……… 1-4 I predict.
See if we don’t even do that in Dingwall, I’ll still thank my lucky stars, each and every day, that I was born a TIM.

We got there in the end .. another 3 points…and that’s all that matters.
No point in dissecting who didnae dae whit.
Take the victory…move on.
Agreed TN – a win is a win, especially after a physically and mentally demanding week in the UCL, and puts pressure on the chasing pack.
Anyone prepared to admit that Idah, Engels and Trusty are nothing special considering the money spent on them?
Definitely weren’t today Owen…
But like Kuhn they might (hopefully) get better with time –
Was a tough game today but we got there thankfully…
Will probably be the same v Motherwell away three weeks today after Atalanta !
I hope you’re right. It seems to me that Kuhn, Bernardo and MacCowan are much better value for money than the three headliners.
I agree that so far they’re nothing special.
Engels is the one who disappoints me most.
I don’t see record fee there.
Hope they go on to prove us wrong.
