CELTIC got a rare bloodied nose last week in their Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Rangers and will be desperate to get back to winning ways in Dingwall against Ross County.
The Hoops looked like they were the ones who played extra time in the Europa League just three days before it, rather than Rangers, as they put in a really timid show against their great rivals at Hampden.
But that will be forgotten about if they have the same six-point lead plus a 19 goals better-off goal difference some Sunday night.
Malky Mackay has woirked wonders in the Highlands to somehow steer the Staggies into a top six place. It took them until the end of October to get their first win in the league, but they kicked on from there inspectacular fashion.
They usually score plenty of goals – they are the fourth top scorers in the league and they fancy themselves against anyone at Victoria Park.
A European place is the carrot for County and Ange Postecoglou's men will have to be on top of their game.
How the bookies view it
Celtic are heavy odds-on favourites with U UniBet going 3/10, although 1/4 is a general price.
County can be backed at 12/1 with bet365 and the draw is 5/1 with Betfred.
Recent head to heads
A ten man Celtic needed a last gasp winner to clinch a 2-1 victory on their last visit to Dingwall as can be seen below. Celtic have won all three games this season
Players to watch
Regan Charles-Cook's figures are impressive this season. Not only is he the top scorer in the league but he's the top scorer in terms of percentage of team goals scored. He's netted 29 per cent of their league goals this season. He's a big price at 11/2 to score with bet365.
Kyogo Furuhashi has looked off the pace since his return which is understandable with a long-term injury. The Japanese ace is evens to net on Sunday with 10Bet.
Anything else catch the eye?
This could be a tricky encounter for a Hoops side who looked leg-weary last week. And it could be a slog.
They should have enough about to get the win though and the 2/1 with McBookie.com for them to win with both teams to score looks a fair price.
Any win will do for the Hoops as this stage of the season – they won't want to give Rangers any encouragement and they might just sneak it by a single goal at 3/1 with bet365.
