Half-Time Report: Ross County frustrating Celtic at break

Celtic are currently goalless with Ross County at the interval of their Scottish Premiership clash on Saturday afternoon.

Celtic dominated the possession in the early moments and had a half-chance through the returning Leigh Griffiths with five minutes on the clock, but the forward's header from a Emilio Izaguirre cross just missed the post.

As the half progressed Celtic continued to create chances, but John Guidetti was denied by Ross County goalkeeper Antonio Reguero, before Scott Brown fired high and wide of the crossbar from outside the box.

Guidetti again came close after 19 minutes, but his free kick hit the side-netting as Ross County struggled to contain the home side's pressure.

Nir Bitton was next to come close for Celtic after meeting a deep cross from Stefan Johansen, but the busy Ruguero was once again on hand to make the save.

The away side's best chance arrived after 30 minutes when Michael Woods capitalised on some poor defending inside the Celtic box, but his effort was wide of the post.

Griffiths and Guidetti continued to combine in the latter stages of the half, but neither could find the back of the net as the half finished goalless.
