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

Celtic have announced their starting eleven and substitutes to host Ross County in a Scottish Premiership meeting this afternoon.

Brendan Rodgers' side have taken 13 points from their opening five league fixtures, the same number as second placed Aberdeen.




Celtic remain without defender Erik Sviatchenko, as he continues his recovery from injury, while Dedryck Boyata is also out.

Rodgers picks Craig Gordon in goal, while at the back he plumps for Nir Bitton and Jozo Simunovic as the centre-backs. Tom Rogic is handed a start, while Jonny Hayes is also given an opportunity to impress from the off. Leigh Griffiths and Moussa Dembele play up top.

If the Celtic manager needs to shake things up then he can look to his bench and Scott Sinclair, while Patrick Roberts is another option.
