Celtic will host Ross County at Celtic Park on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership campaign. The home side are flying in their league duties and are firm favorites to lift the title at this stage of the season as they sit atop the table with 34 points, 11 points above rivals Rangers in third place.
