Goals at the start and end of the game from Kyogo Furuhashi and Jota saw Celtic win 2-0 at Ross County as Ange Postecoglou’s side restored their six-point lead over Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
After Rangers won 3-1 at Motherwell on Saturday to close the gap on the leaders, Celtic had to respond at the Global Energy Stadium and that is exactly what they did thanks to a 12th-minute header from Kyogo, returning to the side having been injured since December.
The visitors wrapped up the victory with just three minutes to go thanks to Jota’s close-range finish after substitute Georgios Giakoumakis’ effort had hit the top of the bar.
Kyogo Furuhashi gives Celtic an early lead in their Scottish Premiership clash with Ross County.
