Celtic will hope to bounce back from their humiliating defeat in Europe with a victory against Ross County in their next match in the Scottish Premiership.
Brendan Rodgers' side saw their nine-game winning streak in all competitions come to an end in the worst manner as they were routed 7-1 by Borussia Dortmund in the Champions league.
Ross County on the other hand, drew 1-1 against Hearts in the Scottish Premiership, which meant they have only won one game in their last five outings.

Ross County vs. Celtic Prediction
Celtic come into this match holding the bragging rights, as they have won each of their last 11 clashes with Ross County across all competitions.
The manner of defeat to Borussia Dortmund was an outlier and Celtic should bounce back with a dominant win over an out-of-form Ross County.
- Prediction: Ross County 0-4 Celtic
