Celtic leave it late to take the points at Ross County

Moritz Jenz headed a late debut goal as Celtic were again made to work in Dingwall as they beat Ross County 3-1. Kyogo Furuhashi gave Celtic the lead in the 48th minute but Alex Iacovitti levelled with Ross County's first effort on target 10 minutes later.

David Turnbull replaced the injured Reo Hatate and the midfielder chipped just beyond the far post from a tight angle early on. Jota cut inside and had a shot deflected wide but Celtic initially struggled to break County down. Their first real chance came just before the half-hour mark when Jota made towards the byline and crossed for Daizen Maeda but the Japanese forward sent a free header over the bar.

Celtic stepped up and Turnbull created another good chance with a reverse pass for Furuhashi, whose shot was parried by Ross Laidlaw before Matt O'Riley sent a first-time volley wide on the rebound. O'Riley failed to make the most of two more quickfire chances before Laidlaw pulled off a good stop from Maeda's flick. County had only threatened from set-pieces in the first half with Ross Callachan and
