Celtic power past Ross County as Jota and Bernabei tee up Rangers blockbuster - 3 talking points

Champions Celtic restored their nine–point advantage over Rangers with an action–packed 2-0 win over Ross County in Dingwall.

The league leaders made it an incredible 28 wins out of 30 when Jota was on hand to to fire home from the spot after VAR flagged up a handball on Alex Iacovitti as he duelled with Cameron Carter-Vickers in the dying seconds of the first half. Willie Collum was given the signal to have a look and he duly pointed to the spot. Alexandro Bernabei then strengthened his case for a start against Rangers with a late cracker amid Greg Taylor's injury worry.

The second half was a breathless affair with both teams passing up big chances as the actioned ebbed and flowed. If County were hoping for some early respite it wasn't forthcoming as the champions almost pounced within the first 60 seconds as Kyogo manufactured a half yard of space but his pounce at the near post didn't come off but the intent was there.
