We said: Celtic 4-0 Ross County

There is little doubt that Celtic will record a straightforward win here over a struggling side near the bottom of the table to keep their lead at five points over Rangers. This will be Ross County's second trip to Celtic Park in the league this season after losing 4-2 already to the champions, and little suggests that there will be a change in fortunes here.
