Celtic will continue their seemingly unstoppable charge towards back-to-back Scottish Premiership titles when they face struggling Ross County at the Global Energy Stadium on Sunday. Ange Postecoglou’s side find themselves nine points clear of Rangers at the summit of the table, while Ross County occupy the dreaded relegation playoff spot.
Given their lowly league position, Ross County would have been desperate to enter the international break on the back of a positive result, but Malky Mackay’s men ended up suffering a 2-1 defeat to Livingston. Not only have Ross County lost each of their last two matches, but they have also lost four of their previous five, leaving them just two points clear of bottom club Dundee United and one point from safety.
To make matters worse for the Staggies, they have only managed to win two of their past 14 league outings, so it is easy to understand why they find themselves second from bottom in the table. Ross County will need to improve their home form if they want to steer clear of relegation trouble, as they have lost eight of their 15 clashes at the Global Energy Stadium, while only two sides have claimed fewer home wins this term.
