Celtic made short work of Ross County in Scottish Premiership action this afternoon as they ran out 4-1 winners in Dingwall.
Brendan Rodgers made five changes vs County with a number of key stars missing due to injury.
Daizen Maeda and Nicolas Kuhn were both ruled out by the manager before the game while James Forrest was also sidelined.
It was nervy at times after Kyogo had opened the scoring with Jordan White levelling from the penalty spot.
Eventually Kyogo would double his tally before two late goals from Arne Engels – a retaken spot-kick – and Luke McCowan sealed the win as Celtic dominated on a satisfying afternoon.

Sutton trolls Rangers with injuries jibe
For Chris Sutton it was a result and performance which proved Celtic‘s superior mentality as they took an 18 point lead at the top of the Premiership table.
And he was quick to aim a clear jab at Rangers manager Philippe Clement who has consistently complained this season about injured players ruining their chances of a title race.
Sutton took to social media right on full-time to have his say.
He posted on X, formerly Twitter, with his acknowledgment.
What Sutton said about Celtic’s win over Ross County
He wrote: “Another big 3 points from mentality monsters Celtic. No moaning about injuries… just ploughing on with what they have.”
Sutton also added his applause for two players in particular during the action with double goal scorer Kyogo being credited alongside another.
“Encouraging performance from Yang. Kyogo sublime,” the former Hoops striker added with a clapping emoji.
Celts showed resilience during the 100 minutes or so it took for the fixture to come to an end due to a number of VAR decisions.
Alistair Johnston gave away a penalty on the hour mark and it inexplicably took the officials an age to decide to call referee Matthew MacDermid to the monitor for the James Brown foul on Yang.
It’s not the first time this week Sutton has had a pop at Clement after his “resources” complaints regarding Celtic’s superiority.
