Celtic will attempt to extend their record unbeaten run and their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership when they take on Ross County on Saturday.
The Hoops are currently three points clear of Aberdeen and they will hope to hit the ground running following the international break.
Brendan Rodgers' side already defeated Ross County back in September, winning 4-0 at Celtic Park, and they will be aiming for a similarly dominant performance in the Highlands.

GAME PREVIEW

As they prepare for a game that could see them stretch their unbeaten record to 64 games, Celtic will also have one eye on their Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
The game against Ross County in Dingwall takes place four days before the match against PSG and Rodgers will be keen for his men to come through the contest unscathed with a place in the Europa League still up for grabs in Group B.
They will have plenty of confidence in their ability to secure a result, having thrashed the Staggies 4-0 at Celtic Park earlier in the season, but that came prior to the appointment of new boss Owen Coyle when County were on a dismal run of form.
Things have changed somewhat since then and Coyle has masterminded an upturn in fortunes, including a 3-2 victory over Motherwell prior to the international break. However, it will take a mighty effort if they are to upset Rodgers' all-conquering Hoops.
