after the walk in the park that was the semi final, we are away in tuechterville on Wednesday. Game is at 2.45am WA time, after the misery of last week there is not a chance that this glory hunter will be awake for it. Our record in Dingwall is played 8, won 4, drawn 2, lost 2. We have scored 17 goals in the 8 games, County have scored 9. last year we did not play them in digwall, fair to say the unseen fenian hand was at work. However, they did manage to scrape a 3-1 win against a plucky 10 man celtic in the league cup. I think we need to freshen up - i think tierney needs a rest as well as forrest, bitton and dembele gordon, lustig, jozo, kolo, gamboa, broon, armstrong, roberts, rogic, sinclair, thumb Given that Ross County and Roman Catholic share the same initials and that those fine highlanders joined us in keeping the lights on in ww2 i expect this to be a walk in the park. a sneaky 2-1 win for me
It's always a tough in the county of Ross... And I agree ... time for some to get a rest Armstrong in for Bitton Roberts for forrest Thumb for Dembele Gamboa for lustig Izzy for tierney These are possibilities
Hopefully another win, I see us winning 3-1. Wouldn't mind seeing us start with 2 up front, but probably better to start with 1 as we're away from home and see how it pans out. FOR GOD AND ULSTER

Saw a wee guy doing a tactical breakdown of Celtic's play on twitter. He notes how we play a 3 5 2 in possession with Lustig forming the back 3 and Tierney becoming our winger. More to it obviously so if I see it again I'll post it
Only rough news on line-up so far. Gamboa, Griffiths, Roberts, Armstrong, and McGregor all in contention to possibly get a start ahead of Lustig, Dembele, Forrest, Bitton, and Rogic, but nothing confirmed as of yet.
