Celtic earned a well-deserved win in Dingwall, coming from behind with hard work and determination at the forefront of the comeback.
Ross County took an early lead in the 43rd minute with a penalty from Ronan Hale, awarded after a VAR review for a handball by Liam Scales.
However, Celtic fought back in the second half with constant pressure, creating a number of chances to turn the game around.
