"But credit to the players, from start to finish we played it on our terms. Jota cut inside and had a shot deflected wide but Celtic initially struggled to break County down. "But our response was outstanding. Iacovitti got above his man to meet Edwards' corner and headed down. "We know it's a difficult place to come and it's a difficult team to play, and with the conditions being as they are with the wind, you know it's going to be a real challenge. Mortiz Jenz scored on his Celtic debut as the champions recovered from a Ross County equaliser to secure a 3-1 victory at the Global Energy Stadium.
Ange Postecoglou has revealed why Celtic star, Stephen Welsh, was left out of the squad for the game against Ross County.
Ultimately, it worked out quite well for Celtic to say the least. Thus, Welsh being out was a worry for Celtic to say the least and Moritz Jenz, who is on loan from Ligue 1 side Lorient, started the game instead. The youngster had enjoyed a brilliant opening game of the season against Aberdeen, when he had not only kept a clean sheet but also scored the opener as well.
Moritz Jenz headed a late debut goal as Celtic beat Ross County 3-1 while Alfredo Morelos returned for Rangers to seal their 2-0 win over Kilmarnock.
There was to be an even later twist, however, as May ran on to Ryan McGowan’s header to slide in a cute finish and seal the points. Aberdeen blew St Mirren away 4-1 at Pittodrie after an early red card for the visitors opened the flood gates. Substitute Liel Abada wrapped up a 3-1 win in stoppage-time when he curled home from 18 yards.
Ange Postecoglou has expressed satisfaction over his Celtic squad's strength in depth after late call-up Moritz Jenz scored a crucial debut goal against Ross County. The on-loan Lorient centre-back headed home Celtic's second goal in the 84th minute ...
Everyone is putting their best foot forward, which makes training pretty competitive, so if I have to make a change to the line-up for whatever reason I'm really confident about the guys coming in." He has been training well, he has fitted in really well. Postecoglou said: "Yeah, he was great.
There was no escaping the vile and repellent element of the afternoon as Celtic won 3-1 away at Ross County.
The sheen in the strike at Dingwall with which he opened his goal account for the campaign will certainly aid that process. But it was the assurance he displayed across the opening period that suggested his on-loan spell in Scotland could blossom. Well, I just happened to be heading to the media pod at the interval, situated at the junction between the main stand and the left-hand corner of the visiting stand.
Although the headlines will belong to Jota, Moritz Jenz and Liel Abada after their brilliant attacking contributions in the Celtic win over Ross County, ...
It’s a real positive he is staying sharp and alert to these moments. Had he not managed to dig that one out, the win could have been in serious danger. The Bhoys goalkeeper made a brilliant low save to his left from a powerful Owura Edwards free-kick with the game deadlocked at 1-1, just minutes after the home side had equalised.
Remember Andrew Gutman? He was the Celtic signing from America who never managed to make a single appearance for the club.
Now 25, the left-back looks set to have a productive career at the top level in his homeland, and if he keeps producing highlight reel stunners such as this one, he might even earn a move back to Europe at some point! Tonight he was only on the pitch for nine minutes, making a comeback from an injury, but still managed to come up with that beauty of an effort, which is now rapidly being shared across social media. The defender eventually made a permanent switch to Atlanta United after a couple of loan moves to teams in the USA, and it’s there he has popped up on the radar tonight.
Celtic star Jota was the stand-out performer for the Bhoys in today's 3-1 win over Ross County in Dingwall.
It was his work ethic, persistence and skill that led to Celtic’s opening goal. He was really at the heart of everything Celtic did well in an attacking sense and is one of the guaranteed starters away to Kilmarnock next weekend. The Celtic winger was already the talk of the town after his stunning long-range rocket at home to Aberdeen this week but showed different sides to his game this afternoon.

St Johnstone recovered from their opening-day defeat by Hibs to get a much-needed win at Fir Park after a dramatic finish in Lanarkshire. Ex-Motherwell man Jamie Murphy finished coolly to put the visitors ahead on 28 minutes and it looked like they would hold on for the points until a goalmouth scramble resulted in a Graham Carey own goal one minute into stoppage time. Jonah Ayunga gave the Paisley outfit a glimmer of hope with his own penalty, but substitute Duk scored in the dying stages to cap off a good afternoon for Motherwell. And no surprise when he bundled in the second goal to secure the win late on after good work from Rabbi Matondo.
Celtic face Ross County in the Scottish Premiership this afternoon in the Bhoys' first away game of the 2022/23 season.
Kyogo scored on the last trip to Dingwall, while Maeda was also impressive in that one. Joe Hart is the smart pick to continue in goal. Celtic won on both trips to Dingwall last season, but Malky Mackay will have his team set up aggressively and difficult to beat again.
