Celtic claimed an impressive 2-0 victory last time out against Dundee United and are now aiming to extend their impressive run of form against this weekend’s opponents.

The Hoops have an exceptional record of 13 consecutive victories against Ross County, in a run which stretches back to a 1-0 defeat to the Staggies in February 2021.

The Bhoys are 15 points clear of second placed Rangers but have the opportunity to extend that seemingly insurmountable lead even further this weekend as the Gers play host to St Johstone.
