Goals from Kyogo Furuhashi and Jota ensured the league leaders restored their six-point advantage over Rangers at the top of the table ahead of next week’s potentially decisive Old Firm fixture at Celtic Park.
Rangers had reduced the gap with a 3-1 win over Motherwell on Saturday – despite having Leon Balogun sent off in the first-half – but Celtic were always in control in the Highlands after taking a 12th minute lead when Kyogo headed home Jota’s cross.
The Portuguese winger then got his name on the scoresheet with three minutes remaining to seal the victory.
Here is how the Celtic players rated out of 10:

. Greg Taylor - 8
Solid performance at left-back, particulary in the latter stages as he suppressed the attacking threat of County sub Joseph Hungbo. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
. Carl Starfelt - 7
Swedish defender gave nothing away all afternoon. Coped well with County's threat from set pieces and long throws. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
. Cameron Carter-Vickers - 8
Dominated the physical battle with County striker Jordan White and produced a goal-saving block in the second half. Imperious once again. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
5. Anthony Ralston - 7
So dependable for Celtic this season and was so again in Dingwall as he came back in for the injured Josip Juranovic. One iffy moment when Regan Charles-Cook got past him into the box, otherwise solid. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
6. Callum McGregor - 7
Always on the front foot, spraying passes and dictating play. A typical captain's performance from the masked midfielder. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
7. Reo Hatate - 5
After admitting to fatigue this week, the Japanese midfielder looked sharp in the first 45, but dropped off the pace after the break with a couple of sloppy turnovers allowing Ross County to set up attacks. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
8. Matt O'Riley - 6
Similar to Hatate, had a decent first half but dropped off the pace after the break. No surprise when he was replaced by Rogic after the hour mark. Photo: Rob Casey - SNS Group
