Fixture: Celtic vs Ross County
Competition: Scottish Premiership
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Celtic have announced their starting team and substitutes to play host to Ross County at Celtic Park in a Scottish Premiership fixture this afternoon.

Bhoys boss Ronny Deila, who has been under pressure of late due to his side's lacklustre results, trusts in Leigh Griffiths to hit the back of the net against Ross County, naming him in attack. Griffiths will be supported by Stuart Armstrong, Stefan Johansen and Gary Mackay-Steven. Nir Bitton and Scott Brown will look to control the midfield.




At the back, new signing Erik Sviatchenko partners Dedryck Boyata in the heart of the defence, while on the bench Deila can turn to Colin Kazim-Richards and Tom Rogic if required.

Celtic lost to Ross County in the semi-final of the League Cup recently and have spoken of taking revenge today. The Bhoys will want first and foremost though to secure three points as Aberdeen are level with them at the top of the table.
