The visitors will need to be forceful in the few chances they have up front and the onus will fall on Joseph Hungbo, who is coming off the back of scoring the only goal in the penalty shootout win over St Mirren.

Celtic have had good goalscoring productivity and one of them has been Georgios Giakoumakis, who comes from being the hero by scoring the brace in the Cup game and will look to repeat the momentum for this Saturday.

Ross County emerges as the main victim for this game, sitting in sixth place with just 36 points, although they have reeled off three straight wins, including a 1-0 victory over St. Mirren in their most recent outing.

Having booked their place in the Scottish Cup semifinals last Monday, Celtic will be looking to reassert themselves at the top and take advantage of playing at home to try to secure their 24th win of the season with just three games remaining.
