Celtic Reserves scored three goals for the second consecutive game, but thankfully, this time they only conceded one, ensuring a 3-1 win over Ross County and all three points. Tommy McIntyre’s side, who had made the long journey to Dingwall, opened the scoring after just three minutes when Stephen Welsh powered home a header from a Mike Johnston corner.
The home side had an appeal for a penalty waved away by the referee on nine minutes before, just six minutes later, the Hoops doubled their lead. Johnston was again the provider, weaving his way into the box and seeing his effort on goal before Karamoko Dembele pounced on the deflected effort to make it 2-0.
Celtic continued to dominate, with Johnston and Dembele coming close, the latter also denied his second goal by an offside decision.
Ross County started the second half more positively, and Ruari Fraser reduced the deficit on 50 minutes with a powerful volley.
The Hoops pushed in search of a third goal, but almost conceded a second when the Highland side hit the post. However, Ewan Henderson netted on 64 minutes following good work from Daniel Church to restore Celtic’s two-goal lead.
Ryan Mullan in the Celtic goal was called upon to deny Jack Murray, while at the other end, Tommy Dixon-Hodge denied Armstrong Oko-Flex and then Mikey Johnston in quick succession.
Oko-Flex came even closer to extending Celtic’s lead with 12 minutes remaining when he was put through one-on-one with the keeper, with the County stopper came out on top to deny the young Celt a goal. And in the closing stages, an impressive Mikey Johnston was denied twice by Dixon-Hodge.
But Celtic can be pleased with the victory at a tough venue as they continue to chase the reserve league title.
