Celtic vs Ross County – LIVE reaction

The Celtic boss is demonstrably bored of the transfer talk it seems.

He was asked on BBC Sportsound if he has any plans for incomings or outgoings before the window closes. And his response was short and sweet.

Not unless you can tell me something I don't know.

Unless I'm a mind-reader and can read what people are thinking or doing whilst I'm concentrating on a game, I've got no answers for you.

Celtic blasted back five points clear at the top as Callum McGregor marked his 450th game in the Hoops with a 1-0 win over Ross County.

And here are our 3 talking points from the big game at Parkhead.

FULL STORY HERE

And that's that!

Not the most convincing win in history but it's three points on the board for Celtic thanks to Alistair Johnston's early, early goal.

Joe Hart's first real save of the day and it couldn't have come at a bigger time.

White finds himself one on one after a blistering counter but there isn't enough pace on his effort to beat Hart.

The keeper scrambles low to his right and keeps it out.

That could quietly be a massive moment in the title race.

Four minutes added on and for Celtic it is now just a matter of running as much of that down as they can.

It's route one from County now. Yan Dhanda has camped out on the right and his role now seems to be firing as many crosses into the box as he can.

More action on the touchline as David Turnbull comes on for Paulo Bernardo.

Will Nightingale tidies up at the back as Kuhn looks to make something happen down the right.

Not a whole lot to report here - very much looks like both teams are settling for 1-0 as we enter the final five.

As we approach full-time in the other 3pm kick-offs.

Hearts 2 Aberdeen 2

Kilmarnock 2 Hibs 2

Livingston 1 Dundee 3

St Johnstone 1 Motherwell 1

O'Riley takes it rather than Kyogo and it's just over the bar.

Kyogo goes down right on the edge of the box after a, erm, robust challenge from Ayina.

Clear free-kick and Kyogo fancies this by the looks of it.

Mikey Johnston on, Liel Abada off for the final 15 minutes.

Looks like Johnston is going onto the left and Kuhn off the right of Kyogo.

Just over 15 to go here and there aren't many signs of life.

County look dead on their feet and Celtic are knockout the ball about with one eye already on the final whistle.

Tempo hasn't been the best here in the first league game back after the winter break.

Jordan White loves a goal against the bigger teams and he comes on to replace Simon Murray.

An indication of the game plan here - there aren't many centre-backs who will boss him in the air.

A warm ovation for Nicolas Kuhn as the new No.10 comes off the bench for Luis Palma.

Cameron Carter-Vickers is also replaced by Maik Nawrocki - possibly a planned sub on the hour mark as he's eased back into action.

On comes George Harmon for Brandon Khela as Derek Adams shuffles his pack.

A wicked cross from the right from Alistair Johnston calls Wickens into action again and he matches it all the way. Another good save.

It's been a controlled start to this half by Celtic and they look quite content just to settle it down.

The sting is out of County's tail after a promising first half and they need something to bring them back to life.

Looks like Brendan Rodgers will soon be looking to his bench.

It's Cameron Carter-Vickers' turn to go close after a corner and it's a brilliant save from Wickens.

He's having some game - he's already saved two penalties, remember - and he's in the right place at the right time to stop a towering close-range header.

Whether it was a cross or a shot isn't quite clear but it's so close either way.

O'Riley brings the ball in from the right and whips one viciously towards the back post.

Wickens is beaten all ends up and looks a relieved man as it drops just wide on his right hand side.

A matter of centimetres there.

Lightning nearly strikes twice for Alistair Johnston as he once again bursts into the St Johnstone box within a minute of kick-off.

But this time his effort from a tight angle is saved by Wickens.

The rebound falls to McGregor but the box is too congested for him to make it count on his right foot.

And we're back.

Doesn't look like there are any changes and that's good news for Celtic where Matt O'Riley is concerned.

Looks like he's run off that injury and is good to go.

That's all she wrote on a first half that has lacked in quality but made up for it in incident.

Not quite sure how there's only been one goal but Celtic will very much take it.

County? They'll be encouraged by their own performance and confident they can come back into this one if Celtic don't improve after the break.

Still, it's the league leaders in front at the interval.

We'll be back very soon!

The winger finds himself one on one with Wicken at the back post but the keeper closes the angle and makes a great stop.

It finds its way back to Palma but once again the angle is too tight and his fizzed effort across goal skims the face of the bar and comes to nothing.

A goal within the opening 60 seconds. A penalty. A missed penalty. A retaken penalty. ANOTHER missed penalty.

Quite the first half at Parkhead and we're not finished yet - 5 minutes added on.

A better final ball from County's main man here and they could be in front.

Twice he's had a great chance to play in Simon Murray and twice he's completely overhit the pass and sent it harmlessly into Celtic's possession.

Really needs to sharpen up if County are to mount a comeback.

Inches from a County equaliser!

A great set-piece delivery from Dhanda and Nightingale's towering header looks for all the world like it's heading in from close range.

But it smacks the bar with Joe Hart helpless and back out it comes.

So unlucky.

Less than 10 minutes to go until half-time and it's been an eventful one so far.

Luis Palma will be haunted by those penalty misses for days if this one now slips away from Celtic but for now they look in control.

County have looked a threat on the break though and as long as this one stays 1-0, it's very much game on.

Seems it's not as bad as first feared as O'Riley is back into the action after a spell on the sidelines.

Looks like he'll play on, at least until half-time.

And now for some non-penalty news as Matt O'Riley has pulled up with what looks like a back problem.

Real concern from his teammates and the medical staff are on for treatment.

He's still standing and stretching it out, but it doesn't look great.

Oh my days.

He's put it in the same place.

The keeper's gone the same way.

And it's saved again!
