It's been a season to cherish for Celtic, so far, and they know a thrilling finale keeps them very much on a Treble.
It's a different story for Ross County, however, the unlikely march to the top six last season has not been replicated and a battle to avoid the drop is their main challenge this time fo Malky Mackay.
And it doesn't get any easier against Ange Postecoglou's achievers as Celtic know a win in the Highland will set up a de facto title party against rivals Rangers – the stakes are high before the great rivals meet again at Hampden in the final four of the Scottish Cup.
But Celtic's dominant record of 27 league wins in 29 matches is based upon their knack for not looking ahead and it could be a big day for Tomoki Iwata in the heart of the midfield. The J-League Player of the Year is primed to start with Reo Hatate and Aaron Mooy toiling.
Celtic have already won twice in Dingwall this season and are eyeing a hat-trick.
Celtic: Hart, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor, Iwata, McGregor, O’Riley, Jota, Maeda, Kyogo.
Subs: Bain, Haksabanovic, Turnbull, Kobayashi, Oh, Bernabei, Summers, Welsh, Vata.

FT: Ross County 0-2 Celtic
It's full time here in Dingwall and Celtic have restored their nine point lead at the summit of the cinch Premiership ahead of next week's tantalising clash with Rangers. The players are celebrating in front of their jubilant travelling support, but were not without their issues today.
Stoppage time goals in each half from Jota's penalty and Bernabei's wonder strike seal the points.
2-0 CELTIC
Alexandro Bernabei unleashes an excellent strike from the edge of the box after Jota's cross evades two players. The Argentine took a neat first touch before hitting into the top corner and after a brief VAR check for a tackle in the build up, the goal...and indeed the game are confirmed.
Ross County 0-2 Celtic
EIGHT MINUTES ADDED ON

Celtic subs making the difference
Celtic's subs have certainly added a freshness and a big threat to since coming on, but they've been unable to add the second goal to kill this game off. The Staggies are still in with a chance. Ross County 0-1 Celtic.
County sub
Ross County make another change as former Hearts and Hamilton man Ross Callachan replaces Victor Loturi as we enter the final six minutes of normal time. Still Ross County 0-1 Celtic.
