Brendan Rodgers is delighted with the way his Celtic team have reacted after their midweek mauling at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, as the Bhoys thrashed Ross County 4-0 on Saturday afternoon in the Scottish Premiership.
Celtic were outclassed by PSG at Paradise as the French giants put five past the Scottish champions to display the gulf that exists between the two clubs on the European stage.
Rodgers was looking forward to seeing his team come back from such a hammering with a performance when Ross County visited Parkhead and the Celtic boss was not left disappointed.
Goals from Tom Rogic and Moussa Dembele in the first half put the Scottish champions in a comfortable position and James Forrest scored a brace after the break to complete a convincing 4-0 win over Ross County at home.
Rodgers believes it is a mark of a team with character that they responded to adversity with such a strong performance in the league and was pleased with the overall showing of his players.

The Celtic manager told the BBC: "On the back end of a really tough game in midweek, it’s the mark of a really good team that you can press the reset button and go again.
“We played another different system, the players managed that and dealt with it very well.
"First-half we were good without being slick and being slow on the ball.
"It was a good first goal from Tom, a great strike.
"The second goal comes from us keeping possession of the ball better.
"In the second half we were better, much better control.”
The Celtic boss was thrilled with the way his side came out of the blocks with intent to show that they learned their lessons from the big defeat earlier in the week.
“Huge credit to the players, off the back of a really tough game against one of the top three sides in the world.
“You always wonder how a team will react but this group are so honest and learned lessons from that [Paris St-Germain] game.
"That’s always the mark of the good teams."
