Celtic had a bad day at the office on Sunday when they were knocked out of the Scottish Cup in extra time by their Glasgow rivals.
The most painful thing is having to wait a whole seven days for the next game so we can hopefully shake off the result and get back to winning ways.
However, there are three key updates we will be looking for this week when Ange gets in front of the media.
- Has Giakoumakis managed to shake off his injury and will he be in the squad for Dingwall?
- Will Reo Hatate be rested for David Turnbull or Tom Rogic after admitting mental and emotional fatigue?
- Are our full-backs who started the semi-final both fit after both going off during Sunday’s Scottish Cup tie?
Kyogo played 60 minutes of football on Sunday and looked out on his feet after around 30 minutes, he’s not quite match fit and sharp. If Giak can make a quick return, it would give the squad a big lift going into this pivotal run of games.
Hatate has been good for Celtic and he’s done his bit since coming in, the Ross County game might be a chance to rest the midfielder and bring him on later in the game with guys like Turnbull and O’Riley pushing for a start.
Taylor and Juranovic were making life hard for the Ibrox side, when they both went off, we struggled. Having both back for the weekend would be the best outcome.
