The Scottish champions descend on Dingwall looking to maintain their impressive unbeaten domestic run against a Staggies side who tasted defeat to Hearts on the opening day of the campaign.

What’s the team news ahead of Ross County vs Celtic?

Celtic defender Carl Starfelt is nearing a return to full fitness after the Swedish international missed pre-season training through injury.

The centre-back stepped up his comeback bid in training at Lennoxtown this week, but is unlikely to start with Stephen Welsh expected to maintain his partnership with Cameron Carter-Vickers.

Midfielder Yosuke Ideguchi remains absent with a hamstring problem, Reo Hatate will be assessed ahead of kick-off after sustaining a few “hard knocks” last weekend and Kyogo Furuhashi will be hoping for a much-improved display after a flat performance against the Dons.

James McCarthy is due to make a decision on his Hoops future after growing frustrated by a lack of oppportunities and the club are actively looking to offload flop Swiss striker Albian Ajeti.

Ross County will be without attackers Alex Samuel and William Akio (knee) for this match, but Malky Mackay is able to call on a near fully fit squad this weekend.

New signings Ben Purrington, Jordy Hiwula, Yan Dhanda, Owura Edwards, Callum Johnson, Victor Loturi, Kazeem Olaigbe and George Harmon will all face Celtic for the first time.
