Ross County form and stats

Last season, Ross County's league results were 7 wins, 8 draws and 15 losses, ending with 10th place in the Premiership. From these 30 matches they scored 29 goals and let in 60. Playing at home in the previous season Ross County generated 5-3-6 (win-draw-lost) with 17 goals and 23 conceded.

No payout for Ross County in their previous match, an away game at Hearts that ended in defeat 1-2. The first loss after going unbeaten in three league matches. Baldwin, defender, was given a rating of 7.6/10 in that game, top of the team. Baldwin served one assist, hit one key pass and won 8 of 12 duels.

The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Celtic to win. Let's see if County are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: 8 games found revealing 1 Ross County win, 1 draw and 6 defeats.
