This afternoon, in Dingwall, Celtic takes on Ross County as the Scottish Champions return to the road. With today’s match immediately followed by Tuesday’s in Madrid, games are coming up quickly, therefore Brendan Rodgers will probably rearrange his lineup even more.
We predict that the manager, who has expressed confidence in his team, will make five changes for the Highlands encounter. Anticipate the arrival of Daizen Maeda, Yang, Odin Thiago Holm, Anthony Ralston, and Cameron Carter-Vickers right away.
Joe Hart is expected to stay in goals.
Liam Scales will accompany the returning Carter-Vickers in defence. Given the number of games that Greg Taylor is playing on the left, the manager might try to bring in Tony Ralston.
Expect Holm to start beside Matt O’Riley and Callum McGregor in the middle of the pitch as Tomoki Iwata and Paolo Bernardo try to establish themselves before the trip to Madrid.
Kyogo will probably initiate the attack via the middle, with Yang and Daizen Maeda joining the group later. Given a start, James Forrest didn’t make much of an impression.
Predicted XI: Hart; Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor; McGregor, O’Riley, Holm; Yang, Kyogo, Maeda.
It will be interesting to see who the manager goes with and how much time guys like O’Riley, CCV get ahead of the crucial UCL game midweek.
