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:

. Carl Starfelt - 7

. 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

9. Daizen Maeda - 6
Typically energetic performance on the left of the front three and forced a good save from Ross Laidlaw in the first-half before making way for Liel Abada. Photo: Paul Devlin - SNS Group

10. Jota - 9
Portuguese wide attacker was back to his pre-injury best against County. Beat defenders and put dangerous balls into the box all match, including the cross for Kyogo's opener, before getting the goal his performance deserved. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group

11. Kyogo Furuhashi - 8
The Japanese striker was rusty on his return against Rangers last week but certainly benefited from an extra week's training with a lively performance. Headed home the opener and could have had a few more before being replaced by Giakoumakis. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group

12. Tom Rogic - 6
On for O'Reilly after the hour mark and his ability in possession helped Celtic regain control of a match that was beginning to turn in County's favour. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
