Brendan Rodgers talked us through the two Celtic goals in the second half from Alistair Johnston and Nicolas Kuhn at Dingwall that swung the game in Celtic’s favour and won the three points, making it a magnificent seven wins from seven games.
That’s a record that has been matched by Aberdeen who are Celtic’s next opponents in the Scottish Premiership after the intentional break. It’s going to be some afternoon at Celtic Park on Saturday 19 October at Celtic Park in the 3pm kick-off.
Here’s what the Celtic manager had to say post match up in Dingwall earlier today…
THE CELTIC EQUALISER
“Yeah, well we got a bit of luck on the first one but we’ve had sustained pressure in there. The corner comes out, Cal (Callum McGregor) gets the strike and it comes up. Sometimes you need those breaks. You can’t score the perfect goals all the time.
🗣️ “They’ve dug themselves out of a hole in the Highlands!”

“But that was then down to the intent that we had in the second half. We were starting to break through more, make more runs, and sacrifice ourselves more to get into good areas. And then naturally when you play that way, you’re looking at Ross County going to tire a little bit so the gaps start to open up.
THE CELTIC WINNER
“That just comes from the speed of the ball and the ball moving much quicker. The second goal was a fantastic breakout on that side. What Nicholas does well, is that we encourage a lot of square balls for low finishes in the centre of the goal but if he plays it to Kyogo, he’s offside.
⏱️ “Better late than never and not for the first time!”

“So he stays on it, makes the right decision, has another touch and then finishes it so well. So yeah, I felt we deserved that. We’re under no pressure in the second half. We still have to do the work to break through.”
