Ange Postecoglou’s side narrowly defeated Motherwell 1-0 on Sunday, thanks to a Tom Rogic strike in the first half.
They will come up against a Ross County team inside the relegation zone but in resurgent form having picked up two wins (against Hibernian and Dundee) and two draws (against Dundee United and St Mirren) from their last four games.
The Staggies endured a difficult start to the season but will fancy their chances of causing an upset against a depleted Celtic side.

Attacking players Kyogo Furuhashi, Jota, and Albian Ajeti are all sidelined with hamstring problems, while Greek striker Giorgos Giakoumakis is still recovering from a knee injury.
The timeline for Christopher Jullien’s return to first-team action remains unclear while James Forrest and Mikey Johnston are also carrying muscular niggles and are doubtful for the trip to Dingwall.
Karamoko Dembele is stepping up his recovery from a long-term setback, but Anthony Ralston provided a welcome boost to the Hoops boss as he returned during Sunday’s win over Motherwell after missing the past few games.
Postecoglou is likely to call on David Turnbull to lead the line again with Liel Abada also capable of playing through the middle.
