Celtic starting XI to face Ross County - Rodgers makes three changes

The Scottish champions travel to Dingwall in their first game following Tuesday's forgettable UEFA Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund, with the manager making three changes to the side that lost 7-1 in Germany.

Kasper Schmeichel starts between the sticks, with Alex Valle, Liam Scales, Auston Trusty and Alistair Johnston across the back. Greg Taylor and Cameron Carter-Vickers are all currently side-lined through injury.

Ahead of them, Callum McGregor, Arne Engels and Reo Hatate fill out the midfield, with Daizen Maeda, Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah lining up at the top end of the pitch.
