Leigh Griffiths’s early penalty and Stefan Johansen’s powerful finish saw off Ross County as Celtics Premiership title defence got off to a winning start 2.43pm BSTRonny Deila salutes the home fans with a fist pump. Celtics title defence has got off to the ideal start with two first-half goals seeing off Ross County. Stefan Johansen’s powerful strike added to Leigh Griffiths’s early penalty which the club’s top goalscorer final season won for himself. The only downside for Celtic was his substitution with what looked like a calf injury. Ross County’s new-seek side made a horrible start but played well in patches in the moment half and can be reasonably encouraged – another referee might have sent Craig Gordon off in the first half,too. For Jim McIntyre, at least a hard one is out of the way. That’s all from me but stick around on the site for the match report. Bye!
